In fact, this should become a generic thing one day, independent of PCI.
But that's an exercise to be done while reworking the IRQ layer of QEMU
(e.g. to support delivery feedback...).

I've modeled it after pci_change_irq_level. I would suggest to change
both later on.

BTW, the assert catches host bridges that do not yet implement the
required mapping service.
