Hi Marc,
	I have checked x86 code, we could set pci_dev->msi_domain
when creating PCI devices, just need to find some hook points
into PCI core next step. If arch code doesn't set pci_dev->msi_domain,
PCI MSI core may provide a default way to set pci_dev->msi_domain.
This may make the implementation simpler, I guess:)
Thanks!
