This series adds a new thread-safe API to declare inline operation inside plugins. As well, it removes the existing non thread-safe API, and migrates all existing plugins to use it.
Tested on Linux (user, system) for i386, x86_64 and aarch64. To give some context, this a long term series of work around plugins, with the goal to be able to do basic operations in a more performant and accurate way. This will mean to add more inline operations and conditional callbacks. One final target of this work is to implement a plugin that implements the icount=auto feature, and allow QEMU to run at a given "frequency" based on number of instructions executed, without QEMU needing to keep track of this. Another final target is to be able to detect control flow changes in an efficient and elegant way, by combining inline operation and conditional callbacks.
