Having an i8259 proxy allows for ISA PICs to be created and wired up in
southbridges. This is especially interesting for PIIX3 for two reasons:
First, the southbridge doesn't need to care about the virtualization
technology used (KVM, TCG, Xen) due to in-IRQs (where devices get
attached) and out-IRQs (which will trigger the IRQs of the respective
virtzalization technology) are separated. Second, since the in-IRQs are
populated with fully initialized qemu_irq's, they can already be wired
up inside PIIX3.
