Thanks for the details, Don.  It makes sense to me to disable
intr-remap on this chipset and handle it like an older machine that's
not capable of intr-remap at all.  The IRQ injection issue should be
no worse than on those older machines.

I don't care whether the "if (irq_remap_broken)" test is in
irq_remapping.c or intel_irq_remapping.c.  The quirk itself, where we
actually look at config space, is clearly Intel-specific, but there
could easily be similar AMD quirks that could also set
irq_remap_broken.  In that case, it would make sense to have the test
in the common code.

Other than the fact that the quirk looks at PCI config space to find
the revision, this really isn't a PCI patch, so I hope somebody else
will take care of this.  From MAINTAINERS, it looks like nobody else
wants irq_remapping.c either :)  I cc'd Joerg and Konrad, who have
made many of the recent changes.
