[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-2.5?] iothread: include id in thread name

[Paolo Bonzini]

This makes it easier to find the desired thread.  Use "IO" plus the id;
even with the 14 character limit on the thread name, enough of the id should
be readable (e.g. "IO iothreadNNN" with three characters for the number).
