It will depend on the MSI controllers. For GICv3 ITS, it will not need 
to trap them for Dom0 because we expose the same number of controllers 
as the host and the MSIs will be configured directly via the virtual 
interrupt controller.
This might be different for other controllers, but I haven't yet fully 
looked at them yet.
