In this case,

Can we call set_callback_irq with hardware irq inside Qemu rather than
platform_pci, just after platform_pci is initiated in Qemu?

It seems resolve this issue.

What's your opinion about this?

BTW I found we use viosapic_set_irq to pend the platform_pci interrupt.
It may be no correct, because platform_pic interrupt is like "edge" triggered 
interrupt, but VIOSAPIC for this irq is programmed to a "level" triggered due
to it is PCI device.
I'll fix this.
