The point was to get rid of irq_remapping_get_irq_domain().

And TBH,

        if (apicid_valid(32768))

is just another way to slip the vector domain in. It's just differently
awful.

Having an explicit answer from the search for IR:

    - Here is the domain
    - Your device is not registered properly
    - IR not enabled or not supported

is way more obvious than the above disguised is_remapping_enabled()
check.
