There are two functions here,
  - retrieve the dev id from IORT which was DT based only;

  - init the platform msi domain from MADT;

For each of them split it into two steps,
  - refactor the code for ACPI later and it's easy for review
    because wen can easily to figure out it has functional
    change or not

  - add ACPI functionality

Does it make sense?

Thanks
Hanjun
