Problem is its MSI type interrupt, but we cannot use pci_dev since its not
a PCI device, hence requires its own way of setup etc.

Most of the IOVA stuff is really generic, and could be used outside
of the Intel code with probably some rework. Since today only DMAR 
requires it we have depends on DMAR, but we could make it more generic
and let the IOMMU driver just turn it on as required.

Its the last index(zero based) of the useful entry returned by the fault record.

Only used to find out if index from fault record is out of bounds.

We will work on the remaining comments and repost.
