The main reason to have the property and to leave it off by default is
that it is incompatible with kernel_irqchip=split.  A second reason is
migration support, where you would be able to migrate from QEMU 3.1 to
3.0 and interrupt remapping would disappear.

It's okay to call the property just "intremap" even if it's ultimately
the guest's call to use it.  It's the same for e.g. a PCI device's MSI
support, properties for that are called just "msi" or "msix".

Thanks,
