After gathering the comments about the two series I sent separately, here is the full series for Win32 iothread support, ready to be applied to uq/master.
Patches 1 to 5 are generic Win32 improvements, including the qemu-thread implementation. Because of complex dependencies, I think it's better if this part is also routed through uq/master. Patches 6 to 8 are generic threading improvements, including using PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK as suggested by Jan. Patches 9 to 16 eliminate polling, replacing condition variable timedwait with wait. Patch 17 removes a redundant condition from the TCG cpu_exec_all function. Patches 18 to 20 add all necessary stubs to make iothread compile with Win32, except the IPI calls. These are provided by patch 21. Tested on Wine and Linux, not on "real" Windows. The series introduces a dependency on Windows 2K or newer. I don't think either 95/98/ME or Windows NT 3.x are reasonable host systems for QEMU, anyway. I incorporated all suggestions from Jan.
