Actually you're right, the MSI destination is only 8 bits.  I was
confused because of

#define	 MSI_ADDR_DEST_ID_MASK		0x00ffff0

in arch/x86/include/asm/msidef.h.  But there may be a bug, see below...

I think kvm_apic_match_logical_addr for MSI and IOAPIC interrupts is
buggy in x2apic mode.

It does:

        if (apic_x2apic_mode(apic))
                return ((logical_id >> 16) == (mda >> 16))
                       && (logical_id & mda & 0xffff) != 0;

But mda is only 8-bits for MSI and IOAPIC interrupts.

Radim, should kvm_apic_mda also handle the !ipi && x2apic_mda && dest_id
!= APIC_BROADCAST case?  It never triggers with Linux because it uses
only the physical mode (that's not super-easy to see;
ioapic_set_affinity looks for the RTEs in irq_data->chip_data and that
is allocated with kzalloc).

> Do I miss something here? Thanks!

No, you were right.

But still I think the WARNs are unnecessary; it is conceivable that some
future chipset adds support for more than 8-bits in the dest_id.
