I agree with you on the fact storing the info at a single place looks
better. However my question was: if my understanding is correct, you
plan to store the info in pci_bus flags. What about platform_bus? Don't
we need to advertise the IRQ remapping capability also with a platform
bus topology? We can have platform devices writing to a platform MSI
controller that supports irq remapping. Assignment of such devices is
not considered yet though and maybe not feasible. I don't know if the
capability is used in other use cases.
