Provide functions to create and remove per device MSI domains which replace the platform-MSI domains. The new model is that each of the devices which utilize platform-MSI gets now its private MSI domain which is "customized" in size and with a device specific function to write the MSI message into the device. This is the same functionality as platform-MSI but it avoids all the down sides of platform MSI, i.e. the extra ID book keeping, the special data structure in the msi descriptor. Further the domains are only created when the devices are really in use, so the burden is on the usage and not on the infrastructure. Fill in the domain template and provide two functions to init/allocate and remove a per device MSI domain. Until all users and parent domain providers are converted, the init/alloc function invokes the original platform-MSI code when the irqdomain which is associated to the device does not provide MSI parent functionality yet.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
