Actually it's not so much remapping as:

 - The bridge can enforce that the interrupt is allowed for a given
partition

 - Because the interrupts are handled via the hypervisor, the latter
can do the remapping.

But the effect is the same, so yes we want the flag. On P9 with XIVE
exploitation we also have HW remapping on top.
