Are we sure we're not opening a security hole here?  An MSI is simply a
DMA write, so really whether or not a device uses MSI is irrelevant.
If it can generate a DMA to the MSI doorbell then we need to be
protected and I think we pretty much need to assume that devices are
DMA capable.  Do the MSI domain checks cover this?
