Hi Eric, Alex,

Do not advertise IOMMU_CAP_INTR_REMAP for arm-smmu(-v3). Indeed the
irq_remapping capability is abstracted on irqchip side for ARM as
opposed to Intel IOMMU featuring IRQ remapping HW.

So to check IRQ remapping capability, the msi domain needs to be
checked instead.

This commit needs to be applied after "vfio/type1: also check IRQ
remapping capability at msi domain" else the legacy interrupt
assignment gets broken with arm-smmu.

Hmm, that smells of papering over a different problem. I may have missed it, but I don't see anything changing legacy interrupt behaviour in this series - are legacy INTx (or platform) interrupts intrinsically safe because they're physically wired, or intrinsically unsafe because they could be shared? If it's the latter then I don't see how the IOMMU or MSI controller changes anything in that respect, and if it's the former then surely we should support that right now without the SMMU having to lie about MSI isolation? I started looking into it but I'm a bit lost...

Robin.
