At this time, qemu/tls.h is really just for cpu_single_env, so I think
this patch should be applied together with the bsd-user patches that
need it.

I and Stefan Hajnoczi have almost the same idea implemented in QEMU
(except that get_foo() returns a pointer to the variable). But
pthread_get/setspecific would be too slow for cpu_single_env, so we're
just switching to __thread for cpu_single_env (for Linux in our patches,
but you can add FreeBSD too once it's needed).
