This approach prevents adding a TCG state. Have you thought of using a
union instead, or even a void pointer?
Why does it prevent it? We can only have one accelerator per vCPU.
You're right, my misguided assumption was that there can only be one of
WHPX/HAX/KVM/HVF. This is true for WHPX/KVM/HVF but HAX can live with
any of the others.
However this means that AccelvCPUState would have multiple definitions.
Did you check that gdb copes well with it? It's also forbidden by
C++[1], so another thing to check would be LTO when using the C++
compiler for linking.

TCG state has to be declared as another AccelvCPUState implementation.
Am I missing something?
Preventing building different accelerator-specific code in the same
unit file is on purpose.
