[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 6/7] hw/mips_cpc: kick a VP when putting it into Run state

[Aleksandar Markovic]

From: Miodrag Dinic <address@hidden>

While testing mttcg VP0 could get gets stuck in a loop waiting
for other VPs to come up (which never actually happens). To fix this,
kick VPs while they are being powered up by Cluster Power Controller
in a async task which is triggered once the host thread is being
spawned.
