No I really meant this list of indices: IRQ0|IRQ1|......|IRQ-(n-1)|MSI|MSIX|
and potentially later on IRQ0|IRQ1|......|IRQ-(n-1)|MSI|MSIX| ERR| REQ
if ERR/REQ were to be added.

I think the userspace could query the total number of indices using
VFIO_DEVICE_GET_INFO and retrieve num_irqs (corresponding to the n wire
interrupts + MSI index + MSIX index)

Then userspace can loop on all the indices using
VFIO_DEVICE_GET_IRQ_INFO. For each index it uses count to determine the
first indices related to wire interrupts (count = 1). Then comes the MSI
index, and after the MSI index. If any of those is supported, count >1,
otherwise count=0. The only thing I am dubious about is can the device
use a single MSI/MSIX? Because my hypothesis here is we use count to
discriminate between wire first indices and other indices.

note wired interrupts can also be edge ones.

array of wired interrupts (the existing vdev->irqs) and a new array for
MSI(x) as done in the PCI code.

vdev->ctx = kcalloc(nvec, sizeof(struct vfio_pci_irq_ctx), GFP_KERNEL);

Does it make sense?

indeed, but can't you loop over all indices looking until count !=1? At
this point you know if have finished emurating the wires. Holds if
MSI(x) count !=1 of course.
