That should be easy - make it a link property. In fact, this would be
one of those cases where not generalizing the code would've been a good
idea.

If device creation would live in the machine file, the machine could
automatically set the link. Maybe you can still get there somehow? You
could add a machine callback in the device allocation function.

I would also do the lookup the other way around. The GPIO / IRQ number
mapping is reasonably local to the GIC device, so I'd rather call a GIC
function to find the ID:

  kvm_gic_get_irq_gsi(s->gic_link, qdev_get_gpio_in(s, i));

Not sure I understand what you're asking for :).
