The pci_subdevice_msi_create_irq_domain() should fail if the underlying platform is not able to support IMS (Interrupt Message Storage). Otherwise, the isolation of interrupt is not guaranteed.
For x86, IMS is only supported on bare metal for now. We could enable it in the virtualization environments in the future if interrupt HYPERCALL domain is supported or the hardware has the capability of interrupt isolation for subdevices.

As the initial step, we allow the IMS to be enabled only if we are running on the bare metal. It's easy to enable IMS in the virtualization environments if above preconditions are met in the future. We ever thought about moving on_bare_metal() to a generic file so that it could be well maintained and used. But we need some suggestions about where to put it. Your comments are very appreciated. This patch is only for comments purpose. Please don't merge it. We will include it in the Intel IMS implementation later once we reach a consensus. Change log: v1->v2: - v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20201210004624.345282-1-baolu...@linux.intel.com/ - Rename probably_on_bare_metal() with on_bare_metal(); - Some vendors might use the same name for both bare metal and virtual environment. Before we add vendor specific code to distinguish between them, let's return false in on_bare_metal(). This won't introduce any regression. The only impact is that the coming new platform msi feature won't be supported until the vendor specific code is provided.
