The irq domain isn't per device, it is per msi table, many devices can
share the same table, and the VM should have a single shared table
across all devices. That's the core uniquely RISCV wrinkle I think.

IDK how Thomas would like to model this, but you will get a better
result if it is very clearly explained and asked.

I would like to keep the iommu out of it, so I prefer if IRQ code
patches in its MSI table pointer broadly the same way AMD does.
Though AMD doesn't have the restriction that remapping only works with
a S2 domain :(
