I would suggest that we should deal with this by converting
from qemu_irq to a QOM property or link based interface
for GPIO/IRQ lines. There's not much point in overhauling
the IRQ APIs twice.

Note that generally these "leaks" are not really leaks, because we
set up the board and wire IRQs together once, and they remain
that way for the lifetime of QEMU and are freed automatically
when QEMU exits.
