I still don't quite understand why you have to do all that.

At least on power we have cases where an mpic does both MSIs and LSIs,
we have the XICS that happily mixes both in a single large domain,
etc... and never needed any of that.

I don't quite understand what problem that stuff is trying to solve
really. Are you trying to avoid having an added MSI bitmap allocator for
the MSI side of the PIC and use the irq domain stuff both as your virq
and your hwirq allocator ?
