[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v8 2/6] Wrapper function to wait on condition for the main loop mutex

[Aravinda Prasad]

Introduce a wrapper function to wait on condition for
the main loop mutex. This function atomically releases
the main loop mutex and causes the calling thread to
block on the condition. This wrapper is required because
qemu_global_mutex is a static variable.
