[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/3] Add helper functions for virtio-9p to use threadlets

[Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

From: Gautham R Shenoy <ego@in.ibm.com>

Add helper functions to enable virtio-9p make use of the threadlets
infrastructure for offloading blocking tasks such as making posix calls on
to the helper threads and handle the post_posix_operations() from the
context of the iothread. This frees the vcpu thread to process any other guest
operations while the processing of v9fs_io is in progress.
