These patches by Paolo Bonzini <pbonz...@redhat.com> add thread-local storage support for POSIX and Windows platforms. Fast native TLS mechanisms are used when available and pthread_get/setspecific() is used as a fallback.
My dataplane block layer RFC work relies on this and it has been discussed separately by Ed and Peter, so I wanted to share my latest edited version of these patches. The only change I made is to prepend "tls_" to the function names. Paolo: Posting so you can take this back into your tree if you wish.
