I moved this.

I think it's better to follow the structure of existing drivers unless
your hardware dictates a different model.  Same with adding fields to
the struct.  If you have a better way of doing it that works for all
the drivers, great -- but please change all the drivers to do it that
way.  If it's a matter of saving one pointer per system, by making the
code look different than other drivers, that's not so great.

I'm a little queasy about the MSI stuff.  It doesn't feel very settled
yet, and I don't want to keep tweaking it at this stage.

How about we merge the base patch for v4.13 and deal with MSIs for
v4.14?  I need confirmation that the base patch works ASAP.  Or if
it's not really useful by itself, we can defer it all until v4.14.

For v4.14, I'd really like to see some unification of naming and
structure across the drivers in how they handle IRQ domains, and
then have tango follow whatever pattern that ends up being.

Right now we don't have much consistency in the names of legacy and
MSI IRQ domains, what device_node they're associated with, how we
handle the 0-3 vs 1-4 legacy numbering, pci_msi_create_irq_domain()
usage, etc.  Some of this may be dictated by different hardware
requirements, but I doubt all of it is.
