[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qemu-iothread: IOThread supports the GMainContext event loop

[Wang yong]

From: Wang Yong<wang.yong...@zte.com.cn>

IOThread uses AioContext event loop and does not run a GMainContext.
Therefore,chardev cannot work in IOThread,such as the chardev is
used for colo-compare packets reception.

This patch makes the IOThread run the GMainContext event loop,
chardev and IOThread can work together.
