One quick addition to this: If you guys implement that, be sure to test
it on a box that actually has Interrupt Remapping support. The kernel
will hide the difference (it magically returns the correct MSI
address/value pair to program), but if it works on a box with Interrupt
Remapping support, you are sure that you did everything correctly.

Udo, is there an easy way to figure out, if a system supports Interrupt
Remapping short of looking into ACPI tables?

+1 from me. That would cause broken code to fail early.
