Why is that needed?
As a positive side effect, we can
turn related system compilation units into common code.
Are there any negative side effects? In particular have you done any
performance benchmarking to see if this causes a measurable slow down?
Such as with the STREAM benchmark:

Maybe it would be good to have some performance tests similiar to
functional tests that could be run like the CI tests to detect such
performance changes. People report that QEMU is getting slower and slower
with each release. Maybe it could be a GSoC project to make such tests but
maybe we're too late for that.
