Developers often run QEMU without installing. The bundle mechanism
allows to look up files which should be present in installation even in
such a situation.
v2: Rebased to the latest QEMU.

cutils: Introduce bundle mechanism
datadir: Use bundle mechanism

bundle mechanism and softmmu/datadir.c provides some overlapped
functionality. Use bundle mechanism in softmmu/datadir.c to remove the
redundancy.

This is supposed to work already -- it is why find_datadir() looks
at a path based on qemu_get_exec_dir() as well as at the
CONFIG_QEMU_DATADIR.
If you want to replace that mechanism, you need to explain:
* under what circumstances it isn't working correctly
* why we should replace it with a different design rather
than attempting to fix its bugs
* why the design you're proposing is the right way to do that
The cover letter is a good place to explain that sort of
thing, so people understand why the patchset is doing what
it is before they dive into the detail.
thanks
