It's not clear how to me.  The only reference to devices from an
iohandler/bh/timer can be in the opaque.  Now, if you have a
iohandler/bh/timer whose opaque is a DeviceState, you should bump the
refcount before setting it up, and unref after tearing it down.

See for example how hw/scsi-disk.c bumps the refcount of a request
before starting asynchronous I/O and calls unref at the end of the
asynchronous I/O callback.
