At the moment, the information is retried through a maze of different
functions, and already duplicated in both the pci_host_bridge and the
pci_bus structures.  If we can change everything to use
CONFIG_GENERIC_MSI_IRQ_DOMAIN, then most of that code
can probably just go away, leaving only the part in the phb.
