David, thanks for your comment.

This patch merely copies the definitions from Microsoft Hypervisor. The
data structure is the exact one that is returned from the hypervisor.
The hypervisor doesn't return a pair of (addr,data). It translates
(addr,data) to IO-APIC RTE for the caller -- like what
ioapic_setup_msg_from_msi does in your patch.

I don't think your patch makes this patch obsolete.

Wei.
