which needs some real cleanup first.
x86 still does not associate the irq domain to devices at device
discovery time, i.e. the device::msi_domain pointer is never populated.
So to support this new fangled device MSI stuff we'd need yet more
x86/xen specific arch_*msi_irqs() indirection and hackery, which is not
going to happen.
The right thing to do is to convert XEN MSI support over to proper irq
domains. This allows to populate device::msi_domain which makes a lot of
things simpler and also more consistent.
