Another possibility to eschew .o parsing is to add something like this
to the sources
#ifdef QEMU_MODINFO
#define MODULE_METADATA(key, value) \
=<>= MODINFO key value
#else
#define MODULE_METADATA(key, value)
#endif
MODULE_METADATA("opts", "spice")
A Python script could parse compile_commands.json, add -E -DQEMU_MODINFO
to the command-line option, and look in the output for the metadata.
