I do not know exactly how x86 works (who/how allocates addresses for MSI/MSIX). 
On POWER at the
moment I did the following thing in QEMU:

- registered memory_region_init_io at some big address which the guest won't 
use, it is just for QEMU
- put address from the previous step to the MSIX BAR via msix_set_message() 
when msi is being configured
- then the sequence looks like:
        - vfio_msi_interrupt() calls msix_notify()
        - msix_notify() checks if it is masked via msix_is_masked() - and here 
PCI_MSIX_ENTRY_CTRL_MASKBIT
must be unset
        - stl_le_phys() - here I get a notification in my 
MemoryRegionOps::write() and do qemu_irq_pulse()

2 reasons to do that:
1) I did not have to change either msix or vfio - cool for submitting patches;
2) neither POWER guest or qemu changes the msi or msix PCI config (it is done 
by different mechanism
called RTAS), so I have to do this myself to support 1) and I do not have to 
care about someone
breaking my settings

Ahhh. Confused end-of-message with end-of-patch. I'll repost it.
