 devid is actually a part of MSI bunch. Shouldn't it be a part of struct kvm_irq_routing_msi then?
It also has reserved pad.

What if we use KVM_MSI_VALID_DEVID flag instead of new KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_EXTENDED_MSI definition? I
believe this would make an API more consistent and introduce less new definitions.
