We removed the need of .symbols file, so is the
configure script, if we one expose a function to qemu-plugin
just need prefix the function with QEMU_PLUGIN_EXPORT

As mentioned in earlier patch we should be able to just have the tweak
in api.c and avoid touching all the plugins themselves.

So this is essentially working around the linker/dlopen stage and
manually linking in all the API functions? Does this affect the
efficiency of the API calls?

As mentioned in the earlier patch I want to understand why the extern is
required. Could we avoid it with a parameter to the compiler when
building plugins?

Hi, I've publisehd with v5 of the patch and explain that,

If we only have a single .c file in a plugin, then define
QEMU_PLUGIN_EXTERN to empty is OK, but if we have multiple .c files
in a plugin, then we need distinguish the implementation and the
deceleration. only the main .c file should define the macro
QEMU_PLUGIN_IMPLEMENTATION
other sources are user and should use extern
