I haven't run a full pipeline yet, although I did apply your IPS patches ontop and run that: https://gitlab.com/stsquad/qemu/-/pipelines/1312869352 but all those failures are user-mode build failures due to the missing time stubs AFAICT. > > When I tried to move this code around, one of them didn't work correctly. > > Else, > Reviewed-by: Pierrick Bouvier <pierrick.bouvier@linaro.org>

Originally I tried to move where vCPU thread initialisation to later in realize. However pulling that thread (sic) got gnarly really quickly. It turns out some steps of CPU realization need values that can only be determined from the running vCPU thread. However having moved enough out of the thread creation we can now queue work before the thread starts (at least for TCG guests) and avoid the race between vcpu_init and other vcpu states a plugin might subscribe to.
