[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] irq: introduce qemu_irq_proxy()

[Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>]

In some cases we have a circular dependency involving irqs - the irq
controller depends on a bus, which in turn depends on the irq controller.
Add qemu_irq_proxy() which acts as a passthrough, except that the target
irq may be set later on.

Turns out the circular dependency i8259->isa->pci->i8259 is widespread,
so introduce a general means of fixing it up.  I'll update the patchset to
make use of it everywhere it occurs.
