[PATCH 0/6] VMD MSI Remapping Bypass

[Jon Derrick]

The Intel Volume Management Device acts similar to a PCI-to-PCI bridge in that
it changes downstream devices' requester-ids to its own. As VMD supports PCIe
devices, it has its own MSI/X table and transmits child device MSI/X by
remapping child device MSI/X and handling like a demultiplexer.

Some newer VMD devices (Icelake Server and client) have an option to bypass the
VMD MSI/X remapping table. This allows for better performance scaling as the
child device MSI/X won't be limited by VMD's MSI/X count and IRQ handler.

It's expected that most users don't want MSI/X remapping when they can get
better performance without this limitation. This set includes some long overdue
cleanup of overgrown VMD code and introduces the MSI/X remapping disable.

Applies on top of e3beca48a45b ("irqdomain/treewide: Keep firmware node
unconditionally allocated") and ec0160891e38 ("irqdomain/treewide: Free
firmware node after domain removal") in tip/urgent
