Why is this a problem?  All of them use IRQ2 for a cascade, and initialize
icw3 to 0x4/0x2 (I checked OpenBIOS, rth's palcode for Alpha, and Linux).

BTW, from the palcode it looks like Alpha wants LTIM=1, so it would be nice
to implement that one as well:

  /* ??? MILO initializes the PIC as edge triggered; I do not know how SRM
     initializes them.  However, Linux seems to expect that these are level
     triggered.  That may be a kernel bug, but level triggers are more
     reliable anyway so lets go with that.  */

  /* Initialize level triggers.  The CY82C693UB that's on real alpha
     hardware doesn't have this; this is a PIIX extension.  However,
     QEMU doesn't implement regular level triggers.  */
  outb(0xff, PORT_PIC2_ELCR);
  outb(0xff, PORT_PIC1_ELCR);
