Forgive me if this discussion is not relative here, but I thought it is.  

How is VFIO restricting devices from writing  to MSI/MSI-X,
Is all the vector area is mapped by VFIO to trap the accesses.  I am asking 
this because we might need to emulate ITS somewhere either in KVM or VFIO to 
provide direct access to devices.
And I don't see any mentions on that.   I think this flag needs to be set by 
ITS emulation.

Right, that this is part of IOMMU code has more or less historic reasons on 
x86. Interrupt remapping is purely implemented in the IOMMU there, so on ARM 
some clue-code between interrupt controler and smmu is needed.
