Thanks Alex. Works for me, also with qemu_cpu_kick(target_cpu_state)
as Paolo mentioned.

The test seems to stress the current multi-threaded implementation
quite a lot. With 8 CPUs running, the resulting errors are in the
range of 500 per vCPU (10 million iterations).
Performance is another issue as mentioned before, but even more
pronounced with 8 cores. Upstream QEMU needs around 10 seconds to
complete, with multi-threading around 100 seconds for the same test.

Best regards.
