Developers often run QEMU without installing. The bundle mechanism

This is supposed to work already -- it is why find_datadir() looks
at a path based on qemu_get_exec_dir() as well as at the
CONFIG_QEMU_DATADIR.
If you want to replace that mechanism, you need to explain:
* under what circumstances it isn't working correctly
* why we should replace it with a different design rather
than attempting to fix its bugs
* why the design you're proposing is the right way to do that
The cover letter is a good place to explain that sort of
thing, so people understand why the patchset is doing what
it is before they dive into the detail.

datadir is only for pc-bios and does not include icons and
qemu-bridge-helper. find_bundle is a general mechanism which can be used
for any files to be installed.
