Is there any reason to do so? Other than just moving stuff around, it
doesn't give us anything. This header will not be shared with any
other driver. Just moving data tables to the header (ugh, static data
in the header) doesn't make code more readable.

If you really would like to clean up the QMP drivers, please consider
splitting _common_ parts. But at this point I highly doubt that it is
possible in a useful way.
