     28 /* Per-thread variables. Note that we only have implementations
     29  * which are really thread-local on Linux; the dummy implementations
     30  * define plain global variables.
     31  *
     32  * This means that for the moment use should be restricted to
     33  * per-VCPU variables, which are OK because:
     34  *  - the only -user mode supporting multiple VCPU threads is linux-user
     35  *  - TCG system mode is single-threaded regarding VCPUs
     36  *  - KVM system mode is multi-threaded but limited to Linux
     37  *
     38  * TODO: proper implementations via Win32 .tls sections and
     39  * POSIX pthread_getspecific.
