I think DT binding and related firmware support are needed to setup the
MSI IRQ domains correctly, there is nothing special about tegra, rcar
and xilinx AFAIK (well, all native host controllers MSI handling is
*special* just to be polite but let's gloss over this for the time
being).

struct msi_controller, to answer the first question.

I have doubts about pci_mvebu too, they do allocate an msi_controller
but without methods so it looks pretty much useless.

Hyper-V code too seems questionable, maybe there is room for more
clean-ups.
