[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 16/19] tweak qemu_notify_event

[Paolo Bonzini]

Instead of testing specially next_cpu in host_alarm_handler, just do
that in qemu_notify_event.  The idea is, if we are not running (or
not yet running) target CPU code, prepare things so that the execution
loop is exited asap; just make that clear.
