So maybe instead of more and more workarounds, we should add some  
generic qemu_irq qdev support?
Even in SysBus it wasn't really comfortable to work with IRQs, needing  
to first init, then mess with irqp[] directly to get the desired setup  
for PReP PCI. Just putting qemu_irq into the device-specific state  
instead is rather common unfortunately.
