define struct IRQState in irq.c bring in
a annoying result, if you want dereference of
IRQState's member like opaque outside of
irq.c, compiler will complain:
"error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type"

No, this is deliberate -- it's an opaque type which should
only be used inside irq.c. If you think you need to dereference
it you're probably doing something wrong.
