We can add a global variable (either executable_dir or whole -L path), init it in vl.c as we do now, and use it in other places in a uniform way. BTW, It'd be really good to have a separate, arch-specific directory for the plugins, like /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qemu/, so it will be multiarch-able. But it is not really a show-stopper.
