Move IO event processing to a separate thread, with a global mutex
serializing access to QEMU data structures. This opens the possibility
to execute certain operations in parallel, and is necessary to integrate
KVM SMP support.

Future changes:
- make the cpu_single_env history nicer
- use signalfd and block IO event signals in the io thread
- optimize tcg interaction
- implement kvm smp
