Well if those are the deps of liboneapi library there's no much we can
do about that - just have to link to them. Just make sure they are all
LGPL (or GPLv2+) compatible. We now have ability to build drivers as
dlopen'd modules, so it would neccessarily impact the set of linker
deps of the main libvirt.so library.
