As per your suggestion, we should have, if there are n-IRQs, k-MSIXs
and m-MSIs, allocation of IRQs should be done as below

|IRQ0|IRQ1|......|IRQ-(n-1)|MSI|MSIX|
                                             |        |
                                             |
|MSIX0||MSIX1||MSXI2|....|MSIX-(k-1)|
                                             |MSI0||MSI1||MSI2|....|MSI-(m-1)|
With this implementation user space can know that, at indexes n and
n+1, edge triggered interrupts are present.
   We may add an element in vfio_platform_irq itself to allocate MSIs/MSIXs
   struct vfio_platform_irq{
   .....
   .....
   struct vfio_platform_irq *block; => this points to the block
allocation for MSIs/MSIXs and all msi/msix are type of IRQs.
   };
                         OR
Another structure can be defined in 'vfio_pci_private.h'
struct vfio_msi_ctx {
        struct eventfd_ctx      *trigger;
        char                    *name;
};
and
struct vfio_platform_irq {
  .....
  .....
  struct vfio_msi_ctx *block; => this points to the block allocation
for MSIs/MSIXs
};
Which of the above two options sounds OK to you? Please suggest.

In pci case, type of interrupts is fixed so they can be 'indexed' by
these enums but for VFIO platform user space will need to iterate all
(num_irqs) indexes to know at which indexes edge triggered interrupts
are present.
