Thanks!

In order to make it easier for others to evaluate, I've applied all
of that, massaging headers so that "git am --whitespace=fix" would
do the right thing.  The sole non-whitespace change was to remove a
single conflicting hunk in #17, which was due to my s/X_OK/R_OK/ fix.
The result is now in the mirrored git tree:

  http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=libvirt.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/danpb-threads

Once you have a clone of the tree (or if you have an
existing one), you can check out that branch like this:

    git checkout -b danpb-threads origin/danpb-threads

I expect to rebase it as things evolve, and eventually
to discard it once everything makes it to "master".
