Hmm, I think Alex has a point here - on a GICv2m I can happily fire 
arbitrary MSIs from _a shell_ (using /dev/mem), and the CPUs definitely 
aren't in an MSI domain, so I don't think it's valid to assume that a 
device using only wired interrupts, therefore with no connection to any 
MSI controller, isn't still capable of maliciously spewing DMA all over 
any and every doorbell region in the system.
