Stefan Hajnoczi 88eb7c29e4 iothread: stash thread ID away
Keep the thread ID around so we can report it via QMP.

There's only one problem: qemu_get_thread_id() (gettid() wrapper on
Linux) must be called from the thread itself.  There is no way to get
the thread ID outside the thread.

This patch uses a condvar to wait for iothread_run() to populate the
thread_id inside the thread.

Stefan Hajnoczi be8d853766 iothread: add I/O thread object
This is a stand-in for Michael Roth's QContext.  I expect this to be
replaced once QContext is completed.

The IOThread object is an AioContext event loop thread.  This patch adds
the concept of multiple event loop threads, allowing users to define
them.

When SMP guests run on SMP hosts it makes sense to instantiate multiple
IOThreads.  This spreads event loop processing across multiple cores.
Note that additional patches are required to actually bind a device to
an IOThread.

[Andreas Färber <afaerber@suse.de> pointed out that the embedded parent
object instance should be called "parent_obj" and have a newline
afterwards.  This patch has been changed to reflect this.
