Subject: kvm tools: Signal only one thread when injecting console interrupts
X-Git-Tag: next-20110824~3^2~205

kvm tools: Signal only one thread when injecting console interrupts

Send signals only to the thread which handles console injection
instead of the entire process.

This prevents every single thread from having to ignore SIGALRM
and will help scaling when running large amount of VCPU threads.
