[BROKEN: This patch is just for reference. It has problems as it does not takes
care of the TranslationBlocks and their assigned regions during CPU unrealize]
When using TCG acceleration in a multi-threaded context each vCPU has its own
thread registered in tcg_ctxs[] upon creation and tcg_cur_ctxs stores the current
number of threads that got created. Although, the lack of a mechanism to
unregister these threads is a problem when exercising vCPU hotplug/unplug
due to the fact that tcg_cur_ctxs gets incremented everytime a vCPU gets
hotplugged but never gets decremented everytime a vCPU gets unplugged, therefore
breaking the assert stating tcg_cur_ctxs < tcg_max_ctxs after a certain amount
of vCPU hotplugs.
