I'm sceptical about doing this kind of thing as a change on its
own. A true multithreaded TCG is a large project, and unless we're
going to commit to doing that I don't see much value in making
some variables per-thread when we might instead need to do
larger refactorings (properly encapsulating the codegen
caches as qom objects, maybe?).
