[RFC v5 6/7] PCI: Add a new bit to pci_bus_flags to indicate interrupt remapping

I'm trying to find a proper way to indicate
the capability of interrupt remapping on PPC64
because we need this to determine whether it is
safe to mmap MSI-X table in VFIO driver.

There is a existing flag for this in the IOMMU
space:

enum iommu_cap {
	IOMMU_CAP_CACHE_COHERENCY,
--->    IOMMU_CAP_INTR_REMAP,
	IOMMU_CAP_NOEXEC,
};

But it seems to be not a good idea to use
bus_set_iommu() to add this flag on PPC64 which
never set/use iommu_ops.

Eric also posted a patchset [1] to abstract
this capability on MSI controller side for ARM.
But I found we also never use msi_domain_info
on PPC64. We have to rework the MSI code on
PPC64 to support msi_domain_ops if we want to
use msi_domain_info.

Then I noticed that interrupt remapping is
abstracted on PCI host bridge side on PPC64.
So I'm thinking whether we could add a new
bit to pci_bus_flags to indicate this
capability, like this patch does.

Compared with IOMMU_CAP_INTR_REMAP, this
flag is more common. Any arch can set/use this
easily. And it can provide a better granularity
(pci_bus_type -> pci_bus).
