The Big QEMU Lock (BQL) has many names and they are confusing. The
actual QemuMutex variable is called qemu_global_mutex but it's commonly
referred to as the BQL in discussions and some code comments. The
locking APIs, however, are called qemu_mutex_lock_iothread() and
qemu_mutex_unlock_iothread().
The "iothread" name is historic and comes from when the main thread was
split into into KVM vcpu threads and the "iothread" (now called the main
loop thread). I have contributed to the confusion myself by introducing
a separate --object iothread, a separate concept unrelated to the BQL.
The "iothread" name is no longer appropriate for the BQL. Rename the
locking APIs to:
- void bql_lock(void)
- void bql_unlock(void)
- bool bql_locked(void)
There are more APIs with "iothread" in their names. Subsequent patches
will rename them. There are also comments and documentation that will be
updated in later patches.

We passed an is_write flag to the fuzz_dma_read_cb function to
differentiate between the mapped DMA regions that need to be populated
with fuzzed data, and those that don't. We simply passed through the
address_space_map is_write parameter. The goal was to cut down on
unnecessarily populating mapped DMA regions, when they are not read
from.
Unfortunately, nothing precludes code from reading from regions mapped
with is_write=true. For example, see:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-01/msg04729.html
This patch removes the is_write parameter to fuzz_dma_read_cb. As a
result, we will fill all mapped DMA regions with fuzzed data, ignoring
the specified transfer direction.

We should be careful to not call any functions besides fuzz_dma_read_cb.
Without --enable-fuzzing, fuzz_dma_read_cb is an empty inlined function.

With Makefiles that have automatically generated dependencies, you
generated includes are set as dependencies of the Makefile, so that they
are built before everything else and they are available when first
building the .c files.
Alternatively you can use a fine-grained dependency, e.g.
target/arm/translate.o: target/arm/decode-neon-shared.inc.c
With Meson you have only one choice and it is a third option, namely
"build at the beginning of the corresponding target"; the way you
express it is to list the includes in the sources of that target.
The problem is that Meson decides if something is a source vs. a
generated include by looking at the extension: '.c', '.cc', '.m', '.C'
are sources, while everything else is considered an include---including
'.inc.c'.
Use '.c.inc' to avoid this, as it is consistent with our other convention
of using '.rst.inc' for included reStructuredText files. The editorconfig
file is adjusted.
