The initial implementation of PCI/MSI interrupt domains in the hierarchical
interrupt domain model used a shortcut by providing a global PCI/MSI
domain.

This works because the PCI/MSI[X] hardware is standardized and uniform, but
it violates the basic design principle of hierarchical interrupt domains:
Each hardware block involved in the interrupt delivery chain should have a
separate interrupt domain.

For PCI/MSI[X], the interrupt controller is per PCI device and not a global
made-up entity.

Unsurprisingly, the shortcut turned out to have downsides as it does not
allow dynamic allocation of interrupt vectors after initialization and it
prevents supporting IMS on PCI. For further details, see:

The solution is implementing per device MSI domains, this means the
entities which provide global PCI/MSI domain so far have to implement MSI
parent domain functionality instead.

This series:

   - Untangle XIVE driver from Powernv and Pseries drivers

   - Convert the Powernv and Pseries drivers to implement MSI parent domain
     functionality

v2: Fix up boot issue with NVMe
