The Intel Volume Management Device acts similar to a PCI-to-PCI bridge in that
it changes downstream devices' requester-ids to its own. As VMD supports PCIe
devices, it has its own MSI-X table and transmits child device MSI-X by
remapping child device MSI-X and handling like a demultiplexer.

Some newer VMD devices (Icelake Server) have an option to bypass the VMD MSI-X
remapping table. This allows for better performance scaling as the child device
MSI-X won't be limited by VMD's MSI-X count and IRQ handler.

V3->V4:
Integrated wording suggestions; no functional changes

V2->V3:
Trivial comment fixes
Added acks

V1->V2:
Updated for 5.12-next
Moved IRQ allocation and remapping enable/disable to a more logical location

V1 patches 1-4 were already merged
