Ah, in that case Anthony's suggestion of
-device piix3,id=piix3 -device isa-serial,id=serial,irq=piix3.irq[3]
wrong in a different way -- the isa-serial shouldn't care
what other device is providing the ISA bus it is sitting on,
it just has a property of which ISA irq line it is using
(and rely on an isa bus abstraction to wire things up at
the machine model level). [As you say, this works now.]
But I think that's a non-typical case compared to the usual one
of "these wires are just hardwired this way by the machine".
