[RFC PATCH v5 4/5] powerpc/iommu: Set IOMMU_GROUP_CAP_ISOLATE_MSIX

This sets IOMMU_GROUP_CAP_ISOLATE_MSIX to a group unconditionally as
there is no IOMMU-capable hardware without such a feature.

On IBM POWERPC (POWER8) [1], PCI host bridge maintains BFDN-to-PE
translation (PE stands for "partitionable endpoint"), and PE index is used
to look at Interrupt Vector Table (IVT) to identify the interrupt server.
Without these translations in place, MSIX messages won't pass PHB.
