[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] coroutine-gthread.c: Avoid threading APIs deprecated in GLib 2.31

[Peter Maydell]

The GLib threading APIs were revamped in GLib 2.31 and a number
of the old interfaces were deprecated, which means they provoke
compilation warnings (errors if -Werror) now. Add support for the
new interfaces while retaining the old ones so we can still compile
on older versions of GLib too.

In particular, this fixes compilation failure on ARM hosts running
Ubuntu Precise. Seems kinda ugly to me, suggestions for improvement
welcomed.
