I'd prefer for this to be addressed in this patch because the active
field served a function before but no longer works with threadlets.
You're right that the patch doesn't touch it, and QEMU still compiles
fine with it, but it's still broken as I described in the previous
email.
In other words, the patch breaks the active field, please fix it.
