/* Per-thread variables. Note that we only have implementations
* which are really thread-local on Linux; the dummy implementations
* define plain global variables.
*
* This means that for the moment use should be restricted to
* per-VCPU variables, which are OK because:
* - the only -user mode supporting multiple VCPU threads is linux-user
* - TCG system mode is single-threaded regarding VCPUs
* - KVM system mode is multi-threaded but limited to Linux
*
* TODO: proper implementations via Win32 .tls sections and
* POSIX pthread_getspecific.
