Are you're thinking of letting random platform devices automagically
gain an MSI domain as they are discovered by DT? I feel like you looking
at it the wrong way.

Note that DT discovery doesn't imply a particular bus, and non-PCI
doesn't mean bus-agnostic. MSI-like interrupts really are a bus
property, and I'd rather see you implementing support for your favourite
bus (and do the MSI domain matching there).

Thanks,
