QOM Visualiser

Summary: Visualise QEMU's object hierarchy 

QEMU implements its own object model by the name of QOM. Currently it is hard for the documentation to show the actual relationships in the code. While this can be done by manually grepping the code base it's a sub-optimal experience. This project would be to write a tool that could generate diagrams showing the relationships between sets of objects which could be included in QEMU's documentation.

There are a couple of approaches, you could either take the parsing approach or maybe build something that works from the QEMU binary using introspection.
