The Big QEMU Lock (BQL) has many names and they are confusing. The
actual QemuMutex variable is called qemu_global_mutex but it's commonly
referred to as the BQL in discussions and some code comments. The
locking APIs, however, are called qemu_mutex_lock_iothread() and
qemu_mutex_unlock_iothread().
The "iothread" name is historic and comes from when the main thread was
split into into KVM vcpu threads and the "iothread" (now called the main
loop thread). I have contributed to the confusion myself by introducing
a separate --object iothread, a separate concept unrelated to the BQL.
The "iothread" name is no longer appropriate for the BQL. Rename the
locking APIs to:
- void bql_lock(void)
- void bql_unlock(void)
- bool bql_locked(void)
There are more APIs with "iothread" in their names. Subsequent patches
will rename them. There are also comments and documentation that will be
updated in later patches.

Minimize the displacement to can_do_io, since it may
be touched at the start of each TranslationBlock.
It fits into other padding within the substructure.

Continuing the refactor of a48e7d9e52 (gdbstub: move guest debug support
check to ops) by removing hardcoded kvm_enabled() from generic cpu.c
code, and replace it with a property of AccelOpsClass.

This removes the final hard coding of kvm_enabled() in gdbstub and

As HW virtualization requires specific support to handle breakpoints
lets push out special casing out of the core gdbstub code and into
AccelOpsClass. This will make it easier to add other accelerator
support and reduces some of the stub shenanigans.

This will allow us to centralize the registration of
the cpus.c module accelerator operations (in accel/accel-softmmu.c),
and trigger it automatically using object hierarchy lookup from the
new accel_init_interfaces() initialization step, depending just on
which accelerators are available in the code.
Rename all tcg-cpus.c, kvm-cpus.c, etc to tcg-accel-ops.c,
kvm-accel-ops.c, etc, matching the object type names.
