 I have just tested, what happens if i disable PCI_MSI_IRQ_DOMAIN. No, it's not going to work,
irq-gic-v2m.c requires MSI domain API. Looks like old MSI drivers do not use IRQ domains and just
transparently handle translation of MSIs to SPI IDs.
 At this point unfortunately i cannot do anything else, because i don't have any of those platforms,
so cannot test. Added also Christoffer to cc. Hopefully somebody in ARM or Linaro gets interested.
