[Qemu-devel] [RFC v9 14/27] virtio-blk: Use pthreads instead of qemu-thread

[Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Using qemu-thread.h seemed like a nice idea but it has two limitations:

1. QEMU needs to be built with --enable-io-thread
2. qemu-kvm doesn't build with --enable-io-thread

For now just copy the pthread_create() code straight into virtio-blk.c.
