Today data_size is not NULL in all cases and the way it is used now (ioctl
VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS) gives me an idea that this is not going to change.

Does not like it prepares anything, just a simple converter.

I got this from another mail from Alex. Which I find strange but whatever,
this is his realm anyway :)
