Not for msi. kvm_kernel_irq_routing_entry seems to just keep an
address/data pair in that case. So

union {
struct {
unsigned irqchip;
unsigned pin;
} irqchip;
struct msi_msg msi;
};

would become

union {
struct {
unsigned irqchip;
unsigned pin;
} irqchip;
struct {
struct msi_msg msi;
struct kvm_vpcu *dest;
} msi;
};

or something like this.
