Here is again the full series for Win32 iothread support. It should be ready now.
Patches 1 to 5 are generic Win32 improvements, including the qemu-thread implementation. To simplify the 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. v1->v2 I incorporated all suggestions from Jan, including his renaming patch for qemu_*_is_self; sh4 now doesn't have a special cpu_halted anymore. v2->v3 Fixed structure naming, renamed qemu_signalfd_init, dropped ownership tracking in QemuMutex for now. v3->v4 Consistently using qemu_free.
