This is similar to the memory API, which converts a memory region
hierarchy to a flat list and fires notifiers whenever it changes.

My personal preference is to avoid infinite loops with breaks, I'd write
this as a do/while (without the assert).  Or maybe supply all buses with
a default map_host_irq that recurses back into
pci_device_get_host_irq().  But this is not an objection to the patch.
