Register Linux dyntick timer as per-thread signal
Derived from kvm-tool patch http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.kvm.devel/74309 Ingo Molnar pointed out that sending the timer signal to the whole process, just blocking it everywhere, is suboptimal with an increasing number of threads. QEMU is also using this pattern so far. Linux provides a (non-portable) way to restrict the signal to a single thread: We can use SIGEV_THREAD_ID unless we are forced to emulate signalfd via an additional thread. That case could theoretically be optimized as well, but it doesn't look worth bothering.
