already taken :-(

common-obj-y is the list of files that are shared by all qemu-softmmu

######################################################################
# libqemu_common.a: Target independent part of system emulation. The
# long term path is to suppress *all* target specific code in case of
# system emulation, i.e. a single QEMU executable should support all
# CPUs and machines.
common-obj-y = $(block-obj-y) blockdev.o
...

so, this is the list of files that are shared between all the softmmu
(common) and the tools.

I am open to suggestions, but all names I thought are worse than shared
(common-common-obj-y) :p

Later, Juan.
