We generally say "commit 4115852bb0".

Sounds like we had a cyclic dependency.  Do you mean "they don't depend
on Makefile, because that would be a cyclic dependency"?

Paolo, any smart ideas on how to avoid "requires a 'make clean'"?

Looks awkward, but it's temporary.  Makes sense.

Meh.

The generator makes the generated qmp_marshal_FOOs() static unless
middle mode.  Middle mode is going away (good riddance).  But replacing
the linker's work by qmp_find_command() just so we can keep the
qmp_marshal_FOOs() static isn't an improvement.  Especially since it
adds another run-time failure mode.  Let's change the generator instead.

So the code added by PATCH 03 doesn't actually run without this, right?
Okay with me, but let's mention it in the commit message of PATCH 03.
