- What's the plan for -device and IRQ assignment?

We need to start coming up with a solution to connect irq lines between cmdline 
created devices and interrupt controllers. Currently, I'm aware of 2 potential 
users

  - virtio-mmio
  - device assignment on platform devices

I see 2 options:

  - create a new platform bus that enumerates IRQs linearly, similar to how the 
ISA bus works
  - allow arbitrary irq pin connection using a global pin namespace
