We only need to test the IOMMU capability if it's the msix BAR, so why
test these in the reverse order?  It should be:

                                    info.index == vdev->msix_bar &&
                                    !iommu_capable(pdev->dev.bus,
                                                   IOMMU_CAP_INTR_REMAP)

Same below.

I think we also have the problem that ARM SMMU is setting this
capability when it's really not doing anything at all to provide
interrupt isolation.  Adding Eric and Will to the Cc for comment.

I slightly dislike using an IOMMU API interface here to determine if
it's safe to allow user access to the MSIx vector table, but it seems
like the best option we have at this point, if it's actually true for
all the IOMMU drivers participating in the IOMMU API.

Do we really want to test this on *every* read/write to any BAR (order
of tests matter)?  Even in the case of the MSIx BAR, should we cache
this when the device is first opened?
