OK, that's fair enough.

It seemed to be getting over kill for a name/number pair.

Right, however, pthread_setname_np's manpage says:
'The thread name is a meaningful C language string, whose length is
restricted to 16 characters, including the terminating null byte ('\0')'
so we're a bit tight for space (and hence the magical 16 char length above -
they're doesn't seem to be a documented macro for that len),
so while data_plane 'n' might be a good idea, starting putting serial numbers
etc in ain't going to work.
I also thought the best bet was to leave how to use the naming down
to the maintainers of the threads themselves and I'd just take a first punt
at sane names.

I decided it was best for QEMU not to die just because we can't get some debug
facility.
