It is not "created". It is extracted from the HW, either by looking at
the RequesterID (PCI), at the DT (platform MSI), or a bus-specific method.

Because that's what is presented to the ITS as a DevID. This is a HW
constraint, and you can't just change it.

If you want to use platform MSI for that, you also need to describe the
DevID in the DT (breaking the existing platforms in the process).
