 The Galileo GT64xxx chip contains an interrupt controller too (for DMA
cycle indication, built-in Timers e.t.c.). All this interrupt controllers are
daisy-chained: i8259(as part of the PIIX + PCI), GT64xxx and MIPS internal.

P.S.  It should be good to have a well-defined modular IRQ routing architecture
in the Qemu. Moreover, modern ix86 LAPIC/APIC interrupt controller even
more complicated.
