Hi Alex,
I noticed the new symbols lack QEMU_PLUGIN_API qualifier in
include/qemu/qemu-plugin.h:
- qemu_plugin_update_ns
- qemu_plugin_request_time_control
So it would be impossible to use those symbols on windows.
I kept a reminder to send a new patch after you pulled this, but if we
go to a new series, it could be as fast for you to just add this directly.
Thanks,
Pierrick

Expose the ability to control time through the plugin API. Only one
plugin can control time so it has to request control when loaded.
There are probably more corner cases to catch here.
