Currently xHCI driver only support one ERST event ring. If we need to
support multiple event rings in the future, it's simple: in
usb_hcd_request_msi_msix_irqs, change the last parameter of
request_irq() to xhci->erst[i], and we can get the corresponding erst[i]
in xhci_msi_irq() like this:

irqreturn_t xhci_msi_irq(int irq, void *dev_id)
{
struct xhci_erst *erst = dev_id;
...
/* Handle corresponding event ring pointed by erst */
}

See Matthew Wilcox's patchset below for reference:
