[RFC Part4 v1 00/17] Refine support of non-PCI-compliant Message

Some interrupt controllers, such as DMAR/HPET/HT_IRQ, work almost in
the same as PCI MSI interrupt controller. And there some devices make
use of PCI MSI mechanism for non-PCI devices on ARm/ARM64 platforms.

So this patches tries to split PCI MSI code into PCI dependent part
and PCI independent part. The PCI independent part will be used to
support other PCI MSI like interrupt controllers.

Patch 1-9 are clean ups for previous hierarchy irqdomain patchset
and preparation for coming PCI MSI code reorganization.
Patch 10-15 split PCI MSI code and implement common mechanism to support
other MSI alike interrupt contollers.
Patch 16-17 converts HT_IRQ to use the common MSI support mechanism.

This patch set only solves the issue to manage interrupt controller,
but we still need another patch set to provide pci_enable_msix_range()
alike interfaces to support non-PCI devices. To achieve that, we will:
1) Move msi_list from struct pci_dev into struct device
2) Abstract common code from drivers/pci/msi.c into kernel/irq/msi.c
3) Implement msi_enable_range()/msi_disable() alike interfaces.

Apparently, we need much more time to discuss the proposal for next
patch set.

Hi Thomas and Bjorn,
	Could you please to review patch 10,13 and give your thoughts?
Those are the main changes. This patch set only passes compilation and
boot tests.

Regards!
Gerry
