Subject: [PATCH v14 15/16] iommu/arm-smmu: Do not advertise IOMMU_CAP_INTR_REMAP

Do not advertise IOMMU_CAP_INTR_REMAP for arm-smmu(-v3). Indeed the
irq_remapping capability is abstracted on irqchip side for ARM as
opposed to Intel IOMMU featuring IRQ remapping HW.

So to check IRQ remapping capability, the msi domain needs to be
checked instead.

This commit affects platform and PCIe device assignment use cases
on any platform featuring an unsafe MSI controller (currently the
ARM GICv2m). For those platforms the VFIO module must be loaded with
allow_unsafe_interrupts set to 1.
