pci_set_irq_fn should take an opaque state pointer (given at
pci_register_bus time):

typedef void (*pci_set_irq_fn)(void *opaque, qemu_irq *pic, int
irq_num, int level);

PCIBus *pci_register_bus(DeviceState *parent, const char *name,
                         pci_set_irq_fn set_irq, pci_map_irq_fn map_irq,
                         qemu_irq *pic, void *irq_opaque, int
devfn_min, int nirq);
