Since the two largest cases are both "cpu_single_env must be TLS"
(ie (a) system emulation built with KVM support and (b) linux-user),
the set of targets which can be non-TLS is really really small,
and I think (1) makes much more sense.
Not many linux-user targets support threads (including not i386).
i386 guest is a comparatively rare case for linux-user (because
most people have an i386 box they can run them on). Also I'm
hoping to get most of the linux-user guests up to the point where
we can just have CONFIG_NPTL be true for all of them -- I have
several patches on-list which are trying to head in that direction.
Alex had posted a patch which implements NPTL for i386, tested with
WINE, I believe.
