Currently only ARM SMMUs advertise IOMMU_RESV_MSI regions. If attempting
to do passthrough on an ARM platform not implementing IRQ_DOMAIN the
unsafe IRQ assignment mode would need to be chosen (if
irq_domain_check_msi_remap() returns false as discussed before). Anyway
checking the  interrupt remapping capability on IOMMU side would report
false as well since the capability is not exposed by ARM SMMU anymore.
