genirq/irqdomain: Provide IRQ_DOMAIN_FLAG_MSI_PARENT



The new PCI/IMS (Interrupt Message Store) functionality is allowing
hardware vendors to provide implementation specific storage for the MSI
messages. This can be device memory and also host/guest memory, e.g. in
queue memory which is shared with the hardware.

This requires device specific MSI interrupt domains, which cannot be
achieved by expanding the existing PCI/MSI interrupt domain concept which is
a global interrupt domain shared by all PCI devices on a particular (IOMMU)
segment:

                                         |--- device 1
     [Vector]---[Remapping]---[PCI/MSI]--|...
                                         |--- device N

This works because the PCI/MSI[-X] space is uniform, but falls apart with
PCI/IMS which is implementation defined and must be available along with
PCI/MSI[-X] on the same device.

To support PCI/MSI[-X] plus PCI/IMS on the same device it is required to
rework the PCI/MSI interrupt domain hierarchy concept in the following way:

                              |--- [PCI/MSI] device 1
     [Vector]---[Remapping]---|...
                              |--- [PCI/MSI] device N

That allows in the next step to create multiple interrupt domains per device:


                              |--- [PCI/MSI] device 1
                              |--- [PCI/IMS] device 1
     [Vector]---[Remapping]---|...
                              |--- [PCI/MSI] device N
                              |--- [PCI/IMS] device N

So the domain which previously created the global PCI/MSI domain must now
act as parent domain for the per device domains.

The hierarchy depth is the same as before, but the PCI/MSI domains are then
device specific and not longer global.

Provide IRQ_DOMAIN_FLAG_MSI_PARENT, which allows to identify these parent
domains, along with helpers to query it.
