For MSI, I think interrupt remapping can be done directly in the IOMMU
MemoryRegion.  You can just overlay a new MemoryRegion on top of the
IOMMU region where MSIs are sent (that's around 0xFEE00000, I don't
remember where exactly).  It will catch interrupts sent by the device,
remap them and forward them to the right interrupt destination in the host.

I'm not sure about INTX interrupts, but I think that the host kernel
remaps them simply by virtualizing the IOAPIC's redirection table.
