Wait, you mean the library references a symbol in the qemu binary? This
sounds completely wrong to me. I wouldn't even do something like this if
it were an internal qemu library because I think libraries should be
self-contained, but it's a much larger problem in something that is
supposed to be an independent library.
If the library has to call into qemu, it should only do so through
callbacks that qemu registered with the library (and then the function
wouldn't look unused in qemu).
In an earlier version of the series I suggested moving the part directly
related to qemu (at least the functions called qemu_*) from the library
to the block driver. Did you consider this?
