FWIW, I gave this a try, this doesn't look to bad. I carried the new type down till virt/kvm/arm/vgic.c:kvm_set_routing_entry(), where the EXTENDED type got turned back into the normal MSI type while setting the flag in the internal struct kvm_kernel_irq_routing_entry. This keeps the new type only to the userland facing side, with the kernel code staying mostly the same. Together with a new KVM_CAP_MSIS_REQUIRE_DEVID capability I can now drive both GICv2M and ITS emulation from the same userland base in a sane manner. If someone wants to have a look now, tell me, otherwise I will wait for Eric's upcoming code drop and comment on that then.
