[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1.1] coroutine: Avoid ucontext usage on i386 Linux host |

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); de; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080226 SUSE/2.0.0.12-1.1 Thunderbird/2.0.0.12 Mnenhy/0.7.5.666 |
On i386, glibc only saves/restores the signal mask via sigprocmask,
excluding RT signal. A Linux bug in the compat version of this syscall
corrupts the RT signal state, which will cause lockups of QEMU's VCPU
threads. Therefore, fall back to gthread coroutines on this host
platform.

I'm not sure where to fall back to. The existing code uses gthread,
likely because it is the safer harbor. So I picked it as well.
This is also stable material.
