We will be able to build them independently from the rest of QEMU, and later on perhaps handle them outside of QEMU main repository. To achieve this, I first introduce a qemu-common subproject, where qapi and common units are provided. You can check https://gitlab.com/marcandre.lureau/qemu/-/commits/qga for a sneak peek at current end result. I said "to ease review and proceed step by step" simply because there are no other changes: I don't move the rest of the qapi code & tests all together, it's in the subsequent series. -- Marc-André Lureau
