Hi Marc, we can not assume pci devices under same phb share the same msi irq domain,
now in x86, pci devices under the same phb may associate different msi irq domain.
Hi Marc,
Well, this is not supposed to be a perfect solution yet, but instead a
basis for discussion. What I'd like to find out is:

- What is the minimum granularity for associating a device with its MSI
domain in existing platforms?
PCI device, after Gerry's msi irq domain patchset which now in linux-next,
in x86, we will find msi irq domain by pci_dev.

I generally agree your first patch which associate basic device with msi irq domain.
- What topology data structures do you use to find out what MSI
controller a device should be matched with?
Now only arm and arm64 use msi controller to setup/teardown msi irqs,
in arm, now msi controller saved in pci_sys_data, and for arm64, it seems
to be saved in pci_bus. For a more common method to find msi controller/irq domain,
I prefer pci_dev/device.
- What in-tree platform already has this requirements?
As mentioned above, x86 does.


Thanks!
Yijing.
