[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v8 20/25] target-arm/powerctl: defer cpu reset work to CPU context

["Alex Bennée" <alex.bennee@linaro.org>]

When switching a new vCPU on we want to complete a bunch of the setup
work before we start scheduling the vCPU thread. To do this cleanly we
defer vCPU setup to async work which will run the vCPUs execution
context as the thread is woken up. The scheduling of the work will kick
the vCPU awake.

This avoids potential races in MTTCG system emulation.
