The Big QEMU Lock (BQL) has many names and they are confusing. The
actual QemuMutex variable is called qemu_global_mutex but it's commonly
referred to as the BQL in discussions and some code comments. The
locking APIs, however, are called qemu_mutex_lock_iothread() and
qemu_mutex_unlock_iothread().
The "iothread" name is historic and comes from when the main thread was
split into into KVM vcpu threads and the "iothread" (now called the main
loop thread). I have contributed to the confusion myself by introducing
a separate --object iothread, a separate concept unrelated to the BQL.
The "iothread" name is no longer appropriate for the BQL. Rename the
locking APIs to:
- void bql_lock(void)
- void bql_unlock(void)
- bool bql_locked(void)
There are more APIs with "iothread" in their names. Subsequent patches
will rename them. There are also comments and documentation that will be
updated in later patches.

Step in removing CC_OP: change the representation of CC_OP_FLAGS.
The 8 bits are distributed between 6 variables, which should make
it easy to keep up to date.
The code within cc_helper.c is quite ugly but is only temporary.

When using -Wimplicit-fallthrough in our CFLAGS, the compiler showed warning:
target/sparc/win_helper.c: In function ‘get_gregset’:

Add the corresponding "fall through" comment to fix it.

IRQ modification is part of device emulation and should be done while
the BQL is held to prevent races when MTTCG is enabled. This adds
assertions in the hw emulation layer and wraps the calls from helpers
in the BQL.

We've currently got 18 architectures in QEMU, and thus 18 target-xxx
folders in the root folder of the QEMU source tree. More architectures
(e.g. RISC-V, AVR) are likely to be included soon, too, so the main
folder of the QEMU sources slowly gets quite overcrowded with the
target-xxx folders.
To disburden the main folder a little bit, let's move the target-xxx
folders into a dedicated target/ folder, so that target-xxx/ simply
becomes target/xxx/ instead.
