Sorry, I misunderstood the question here, I thought "its" here
means ITS (interrupt translation service), but actually I think
you mean how to match a device to the device's irq domain.

So the stacked irq domain will be:

acpi_irq_domain == gicv2 or gicv3 core domain
^
| (parent)
|
ITS domain or GIv2m domain
^
|
|
MSI chip irq domain

Since there is one GICD supported for now, so there will be only
one irqdomain created for all the wired hardware irqs for PPI, SGI
and SPI, and PPI, SGI and SPI will have unique hardware irq number
(GSI), so we can match the device to the acpi_irq_domain with unique
GSI and it will works. If there will be multi GICD in the future, this
will still works to follow the solution for x86 of ACPI (mutil IOAPICs).

MSI will match itself (device id) to its MSI irqdomain and it will
handled by core code (dynamicly allocated hw irq number), so all
the interrupts will be handled probably in ACPI way.

Thanks
Hanjun
