[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] target/ppc/excp_helper: Take BQL before calling cpu_interrupt()

[Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>]

Since the introduction of MTTCG, using the msgsnd instruction
abort()s if being called without holding the BQL. So let's protect
that part of the code now with qemu_mutex_lock_iothread().
