Do that in another patch.

It's okay to add a struct for that, but what's the point of referencing
it by an id? Instead, you could directly allocate one and return it.
This would also remove the hardcoded limit: 8 devices at most.

Firstly, the "control" method is not well named, IMO. Something like
"send_request" is better.
And there is another way to achieve that: instead of introducing one
callback (control, or send_request) for all requests, you could
define one callback for each request. QEMU switched to that way
few releases ago. In that way, you don't have to do the request
translation at least.
Last, please make one patch for each of 3 items. It helps review.
