[RFC PATCH 1/1] platform-msi: Add platform check for subdevice irq domain

[Lu Baolu <baolu.lu@linux.intel.com>]

The pci_subdevice_msi_create_irq_domain() should fail if the underlying
platform is not able to support IMS (Interrupt Message Storage). Otherwise,
the isolation of interrupt is not guaranteed.

For x86, IMS is only supported on bare metal for now. We could enable it
in the virtualization environments in the future if interrupt HYPERCALL
domain is supported or the hardware has the capability of interrupt
isolation for subdevices.

Note:
Learnt from the discussions in this thread:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/160408357912.912050.17005584526266191420.stgit@djiang5-desk3.ch.intel.com/

The device IMS (Interrupt Message Storage) should not be enabled in any
virtualization environments unless there is a HYPERCALL domain which
makes the changes in the message store managed by the hypervisor.

As the initial step, we allow the IMS to be enabled only if we are
running on the bare metal. It's easy to enable IMS in the virtualization
environments if above preconditions are met in the future.

We ever thought about moving probably_on_bare_metal() to a more generic
file so that it could be well maintained and used. But we need some
suggestions about where to put it. Your comments are very appreciated.

This patch is only for comments purpose. Please don't merge it. We will
include it in the Intel IMS implementation later once we reach a
consensus.

Best regards,
baolu
