What about making --enable-io-thread default as an intermediate

That would leave --disable-io-thread as temporary workaround until

issues are fixed. The latter could generate a big fat warning that
this
mode will be removed before 1.0.
Yes please, that proposal sounds much better.
If http://wiki.qemu.org/Planning/1.0 is still up-to-date, we have
about
six weeks to make I/O thread work everywhere.
I'm not a big fan of just flipping the configure flag. There is
other work being held up by disable-io-thread like the timer
conversion.
If there aren't known issues, then I want to remove the non-I/O
thread code. git history is still there for anyone that wants to
test w/o it.
My problem is that at HEAD *none* of the i386,ppc,sparc guests that
used to work about a month ago boot *at all* on my Darwin/ppc64 host.
Might be TCG, might be the new MemoryRegion API, might be (non-)I/O
thread. Means a lot of git history testing despite little time. An
ultimatum to make things even worse doesn't really help there... ;)
