The array returned by qemu_allocate_irqs is malloced, free it.

Maybe you could also update the description of qemu_allocate_irqs() to
state that the returned pointer should be g_free'd later?

How many of these patches could be fixed by using g_autofree or similar 
instead?

It's a bit weird to be calling qemu_allocate_irqs() here in the
first place -- usually you'd just have a qemu_irq irqs[2] array
in the device state struct, qemu_allocate_irq(irq[i], ...) and
pass irq[i] to the ide_init2() function to tell it what
qemu_irq to use. Or else you'd keep the pointer to the
allocated irqs array in the device state struct, so as
to be able to free it on any theoretical hot-unplug your
device might support. Calling qemu_allocate_irqs() and then
immediately freeing the array means that there are now
two actual qemu_irqs floating around which are supposed
to be owned by this device but which it has no way to
get hold of any more. This is only not a leak because
the cmd646 doesn't support hot-unplug.

(Hot take version : we should be getting rid of qemu_allocate_irqs()
entirely: it is essentially a "pre-QOM" API and there are better
ways to phrase code that's currently calling it.)

thanks

Yes, I agree, and it's why I didn't mind doing the quick fix that gets
rid of the boot-serial-test leak the easy way.
