kvm tools: Fix 'kill -3' hangs

Looks like the code should be doing that already - but the ioctl(KVM_GET_SREGS)
hangs:
[pid 748] ioctl(6, KVM_GET_SREGS
Avi Kivity pointed out that it's not safe to call KVM_GET_SREGS (or other vcpu
related ioctls) from other threads:

From Documentation/kvm/api.txt:
- vcpu ioctls: These query and set attributes that control the operation
of a single virtual cpu.
Only run vcpu ioctls from the same thread that was used to create the
vcpu.
Fix that up by using pthread_kill() to force the threads that are doing KVM_RUN
to do the register dumps.

Enable the earlyprintk console to the serial port, to allow the debugging of
very early hangs/crashes.
Since we already enable the serial console by default, this is a natural
extension of it.
I have tested that it indeed works, by provoking an early hang that triggers
after the early console is enabled by before the real console is registered. In
that case before the patch we get:

virtio-blk has been converted to use the threadpool. All the threading code has
been removed, which left only simple callback handling code.
New threadpool job types are created within VIRTIO_PCI_QUEUE_PFN for every
queue (just one in the case of virtio-blk). The module signals for work after
receiving VIRTIO_PCI_QUEUE_NOTIFY and expects the threadpool to call
virtio_blk_do_io to handle the I/O. It is possible that the module will signal
work several times while virtio_blk_do_io is already working, but there is no
need to handle multithreading there since the threadpool will call each job in
linear and not in parallel.

This patch adds a generic pool to create a common interface for working with
threads within the kvm tool. Main idea here is using this threadpool for all
I/O threads instead of having every I/O module write it's own thread code. The
process of working with the thread pool is supposed to be very simple.
During initialization, each module which is interested in working with the
threadpool will call threadpool__add_jobtype with the callback function and a
void* parameter. For example, virtio modules will register every virt_queue as
a new job type. During operation, When theres work to do for a specific job,
the module will signal it to the queue and would expect the callback to be
called with proper parameters. It is assured that the callback will be called
once for every signal action and each callback will be called only once at a
time (i.e. callback functions themselves don't need to handle threading).

There is currently support for multiple virtio queues but the kernel side

the ABI does support multiple queues there - So I've prefered to do it like
that to keep it flexible.
I/O performance itself doesn't increase much due to the patch, what changes is
system responsiveness during I/O operations. On an unthreaded system, The VCPU
is frozen up until the I/O request is complete. On the other hand, On a
threaded system the VCPU is free to do other work or queue more I/O while
waiting for the original I/O request to complete.
