[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/3] Add workerthreads configuration option

[Matthias Brugger]

This patch allows the definition which thread  pool will be used by
every block device. The defintion of the workerthreads option
allows this at the command line level.

At the moment only the thread pool implementation "pool" can be chosen.
