Sorry to ask, but shouldn't dev_get_msi_domain() return the specific
device domain rather than the parent one?  Otherwise I feel the
function should rather be named dev_get_parent_msi_domain().

I see.  So the proper way would be for Xen to not override the default
x86 irq_domain in dev->msi.domain (so don't have a Xen PV specific
version of x86_init.irqs.create_pci_msi_domain) and instead do
something similar to what VMD does?

Thanks, Roger.
