Introducing IOTHREAD made !CONFIG_IOTHREAD platforms second class
citizens.  I think you'd like people to provide full support when they
introduce new features.

This is a good motivator to use glib and have a unified code path for
TCG/KVM and Linux/Windows.  Yes it will require some work and some
optimization, but at the end we'll have better host platform parity
and a simpler main loop for TCG/KVM to interact with.
