+ * define plain global variables.
+ *
+ * This means that for the moment use should be restricted to
+ * per-VCPU variables, which are OK because:
+ *  - the only -user mode supporting multiple VCPU threads is linux-user
+ *  - TCG system mode is single-threaded regarding VCPUs
+ *  - KVM system mode is multi-threaded but limited to Linux
+ *
+ * TODO: proper implementations via Win32 .tls sections and
+ * POSIX pthread_getspecific.
