[Xen-devel] [PATCH] tools: adjust --datadir option passed to qemu-upstream's configure script

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

Passing $(SHAREDIR)/qemu-xen isn't compatible with the way
os-posix.c:os_find_datadir() works. While one would generally expect
that function to honour the --datadir configure option, fixing this is
quite a bit more involved than simply adjusting the configure options
to match the function's behavior (in that, for an installed binary, it
looks in $bindir/../share/qemu). Afaict, so far this can have worked
only by virtue of what CONFIG_QEMU_DATADIR points to being populated
due to (presumably) some other qemu instance being installed on
people's systems (but being absent when running qemu-system-i386 from
the dist/ portion of the build tree).
