[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH 0/6] Shared Library Module Support

[Fam Zheng]

This series implements feature of shared object building as described in:

http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/Modules

It's achieved in three steps, with extra bonus to change curl to a shared
library module in the end (only to demonstrate the usage, no "make install"
support of .so files yet).

1. Allow per object cflags and libs:

    [01/06] make.rule: fix $(obj) to a real relative path
    [02/06] rule.mak: allow per object cflags and libs

2. Rules for building .so:

    [03/06] Makefile: define curl cflags and libs with object

3. Code to load module. All .so files are scanned and loaded when program
   starts:

    [04/06] Makefile: introduce common-obj-m and block-obj-m for DSO

4. curl adoption:

    [05/06] module: load modules at start
    [06/06] curl: build as shared library
