Before IOThread was its own object, each virtio-blk device would create its own internal thread. We need to preserve this behavior for backwards compatibility when users do not specify -device virtio-blk-pci,iothread=<id>. This patch changes how the internal IOThread object is created. Previously we used the monitor object_add() function, which is really a layering violation. The problem is that this needs to assign a name but we don't have a name for this internal object. Generating names for internal objects is a pain but even worse is that they may collide with user-defined names. Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> suggested that the internal IOThread object should not be named. This way the conflict cannot happen and we no longer need object_add(). One gotcha is that internal IOThread objects will not be listed by the query-iothreads command since they are not named. This is okay though because query-iothreads is new and the internal IOThread is just for backwards compatibility. New users should explicitly define IOThread objects.
