X86 still has them at that point in the series and the next patch
removes them. I wanted to have the warnings in place before doing so.

For a quick and dirty step it's pretty much the wrapper I used for XEN
and then make sure that the msi_domain pointer is populated is
pci_device::device.

Those are old drivers from the time where ARM did not use hierarchical
irq domains and nobody cared to fix them up.

git grep arch_setup_msi_irq
git grep arch_teardown_msi_irq

Sure, it just needs some work and probably hardware to test.
