The main question is why you think that pci_host_bridge is the proper
place to store that information.

On x86 we have DMAR units associated to a single device. Each DMAR
unit is a seperate MSI irq domain. 

Can you guarantee that the pci_host_bridge is the right point to
provide the association of the device to the irq domain?

So the real question is:

   What is the association level requirement to properly identify the
   irqdomain for a specific device on any given architecture with and
   without IOMMU, interrupt redirection etc.

To be honest: I don't know.

My gut feeling tells me that it's at the device level, but I really
leave that decision to the experts in that field.
