This coroutines implementation is based on the gtk-vnc implementation written by Anthony Liguori<anth...@codemonkey.ws> but it has been significantly rewritten by Kevin Wolf<kw...@redhat.com> to use setjmp()/longjmp() instead of the more expensive swapcontext() and by Paolo Bonzini<pbonz...@redhat.com> for Windows Fibers support.
Not a blocker at all, but why did you move the pooling to the ucontext implementation? It's less expensive to create the fiber in Windows because there are no system calls (unlike swapcontext), but a future pthread-based implementation will also need the pooling.
It can be left to whoever writes the pthread stuff, though. Paolo
