Why does x86 care how the vector is ultimately programmed into the
device?

The leaking of the MSI programming model into the irq implementations
seems like there is still a troubled modularity.

I understand that some implementations rely on a hypercall/trap or
whatever and must know MSI vs MSI-X, but I'm surprised to see this
here.
