OK, thanks for digging that up. All the information I have on this
topic is second hand, and I had no reason to assume their account of
the history was inaccurate.

OK, I can iterate over the domains using irq_find_matching_fwspec()
and update the handles one by one. Not pretty, but that is a lost
cause anyway for this patch.

This SoC does not have any MSI capable platform devices, so the only
consumers are PCI devices, and PCI drivers are registered as a
device_initcal().
