Currently, qemu routes IRQs to the PIC which then calls the IOAPIC, an incestuous arrangement. In order to clean this up, create a new ISA IRQabstraction, and have devices raise ISA IRQs (which in turn raise the i8259IRQs as usual).Is this really true? From my understanding the PIC in modern systems is emulated through the IOAPIC, which is the reason we have legacy interrupts.
For the PC emulated by qemu, it is certainly true. I don't know for sure about modern PCs, but I bet they do respond to the PIC io ports.
