See pci_enable_msix in include/linux/pci.h

So to map vq 0 to vector 0, vq 1 to vector 1 and vq 2 to vector 2 the driver
would do:
struct virtio_interrupt_mapping mapping[3] = { {0, 0}, {1, 1}, {2, 2} };
vec = map_vqs_to_interrupt(dev, mapping, 3);
if (vec) {
error handling
}
and then find_vq as usual.
