[PATCH v10 6/8] vfio/type1: check doorbell safety

[Eric Auger <eric.auger@redhat.com>]

On x86 IRQ remapping is abstracted by the IOMMU. On ARM this is abstracted
by the msi controller.

Since we currently have no way to detect whether the MSI controller is
upstream or downstream to the IOMMU we rely on the MSI doorbell information
registered by the interrupt controllers. In case at least one doorbell
does not implement proper isolation, we state the assignment is unsafe
with regard to interrupts. This is a coase assessment but should allow to
wait for a better system description.

At this point ARM sMMU still advertises IOMMU_CAP_INTR_REMAP. This is
removed in next patch.

v9 -> v10:
- coarse safety assessment based on MSI doorbell info

v3 -> v4:
- rename vfio_msi_parent_irq_remapping_capable into vfio_safe_irq_domain
  and irq_remapping into safe_irq_domains

v2 -> v3:
- protect vfio_msi_parent_irq_remapping_capable with
  CONFIG_GENERIC_MSI_IRQ_DOMAIN
