Hi Marc,
	This is a little wild:(
	On x86 platform with Intel VT-d(not the case for AMD-v),
interrupt remapping is tight to DMA remapping (IOMMU) unit.
For most common cases, IOMMU unit manages PCI bus and its sub-hierarchy.
But it may also manage a specific PCI device. This is typically used to
provide QoS for audio device by using dedicated IOMMU unit to avoid
resource contention on DMA remapping tables. BIOS uses ACPI table to
report PCI bus/device to IOMMU unit mapping relationship. (To be honest,
I have no really experience with such a hardware platform yet, just for
theoretical analysis)
	On the other hand, we now support hierarchy irqdomain. So to
support per-PCI IOMMU unit case, we need maintain irqdomain at PCI
device level.
	This piece of code from your [4/6] is flexible enough, which
retrieves msi_domain from PCI device, then fallback to PCI bus,
then fallback to platform specific method.
	domain = dev_get_msi_domain(&dev->dev);
	if (!domain && dev->bus->msi)
 		domain = dev->bus->msi->domain;
 	if (!domain)
 		domain = arch_get_pci_msi_domain(dev);
Thanks!
