It not clear that ARM would use the same mechanisms anyway, since ARM has a more advanced virtualisable interrupt controller available. However I think you are getting rather ahead of yourself, before MSI passthrough becomes an issue we need a) host support for GICv3 b) host support for GICv3+ITS (ARM name for MSI). Vijay Kilari is working on those a) is pretty much there, b) is still a WIP AIUI. We also lack some of the basic framework for doing passthrough on ARM. Julien Grall is working on that for the platform device case, which will provide many of the foundations for doing PCI passthrough.
