I have this set which disables remapping and bypasses the creation of
the IRQ domain:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-pci/list/?series=192936

It allows the end-devices like NVMe to directly manager their own
interrupts and eliminates the VMD interrupt completely. The only quirk
was that kernel has to program IRTE with the VMD device ID as it still
remaps Requester-ID from subdevices.
