Hopefully this is not yet set in stone.

We have all kind of logic in qemu. Some of it can thinkably
be moved to a separate VM - it doesn't even need to
run in the same VM as the guest - we could do it e.g. like
kvm unit-test does, with less pain than running it in firmware.
Not clear why would generating ACPI tables - which merely
fills up an array of bytes from internal QEMU
datastructures - should be the part where we start
this modularization.
