All,

I woudl like to make it possible to compile devices (hw/*) as shared
libraries and load them dynamicaly. This would make it easier to
develop emulators for new hardware.

I am completly new to QEMU develpment so i would like to ask you guys,
QEMU Architects if you have any idea how it could be done. I would be
happy to implement this and send patches after all.

Thanks,
Dominik

It shouldn't be very difficult. However, this would mean that an API
would have to be maintained for the out of tree device developers.
