Given ERR and REQ indices would follow MSI and MSIX ones, MSI index
could be recognized by the first index whose count != 1. But indeed I am
not sure the number of supported vectors cannot be 1. In your case it is
induced by the size of the ring so it is OK but for other devices this
may be different.

I think we can not rely on the count > 1. Now, this is

If count is not reliable to discriminate the first n wired interrupts
from the subsequen MSI and MSIx index, Alex suggested to add a
capability extension in the vfio_irq_info structure. Something similar
to what was done for vfio_region_info.

Such kind of thing was attempted in
https://lore.kernel.org/kvmarm/20201116110030.32335-8-eric.auger@redhat.com/T/#u

` [PATCH v11 07/13] vfio: Use capability chains to handle device
specific irq
` [PATCH v11 08/13] vfio/pci: Add framework for custom interrupt indices
` [PATCH v11 09/13] vfio: Add new IRQ for DMA fault reporting

Note this has not been reviewed yet.

Thanks

Eric
