We basically have to define the source sets at the toplevel meson.build
file, then go fill the source sets in the subdir meson.build files.

The extra indirection needed in the Makefiles (build one temporary
module per subdirectory, then go link them into the final module) is not
needed with meson.

I think you can even use a single source set, then go use 

	tcg_module_ss.add(when: 'TARGET_I386', ...)

for arch-specific stuff like the files in target/i386/tcg/


Are there any pending patches to handle the remaining tcg dependencies
in qemu?  When trying to build tcg modular (more than only
tcg-accel-ops*) I get lots of unresolved symbols to tcg bits which are
referenced directly (in cpu.c, gdbstub.c, monitor, ...).

The CONFIG_TCG=n case is handled either with stubs or with #ifdef
CONFIG_TCG, which doesn't fly for modular tcg ...

take care,
  Gerd
