[Qemu-devel] [RFC v3 11/13] Introduce exit_flush_req and tcg_excl_access_lock

[Alvise Rigo]

Introduce two new variables to synchronize the vCPUs during atomic
operations.

- exit_flush_request allows one vCPU to make an exclusive flush request for all
  the running vCPUs
- tcg_excl_access_lock is a mutex that protects all the sensible
  operations concerning atomic instruction emulation. Most of all, the
  mutex is used to protect the env->exclusive_protected_hwaddr (one
  mutex for all vCPUs).
