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

Are we sure we're not opening a security hole here? An MSI is simply a
DMA write, so really whether or not a device uses MSI is irrelevant.
If it can generate a DMA to the MSI doorbell then we need to be
protected and I think we pretty much need to assume that devices are
DMA capable. Do the MSI domain checks cover this?
Let me try to rephrase: we check the device is not attached to an MSI
controller (I think this is the semantic of dev_get_msi_domain(dev)).
If it is not, we don't have to care about MSI isolation: there will be
no IOMMU binding between the device and any MSI doorbell. If it is we
check the msi domain is backed by an MSI controller able to perform MSI
isolation.

So effectively "usage of MSIs" is improper - since it is decided after
the group attachment anyway - and the commit message should rather
state "if the device is linked to an MSI controller" (dt msi-parent
notion I think).
Hmm, I think Alex has a point here - on a GICv2m I can happily fire
arbitrary MSIs from _a shell_ (using /dev/mem), and the CPUs definitely
aren't in an MSI domain, so I don't think it's valid to assume that a
device using only wired interrupts, therefore with no connection to any
MSI controller, isn't still capable of maliciously spewing DMA all over
any and every doorbell region in the system.
Robin.
Does it sound better?

or if the device uses MSI and the msi-parent controller
supports IRQ remapping.
Then we check at group level if all devices have safe interrupts: if not,
we only allow the group to be attached if allow_unsafe_interrupts is set.
At this point ARM sMMU still advertises IOMMU_CAP_INTR_REMAP. This is
changed in next patch.

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
