[VIRT-327 # Richard's upstream QEMU work ]

Misc patch review.

[GCC]

I looked into Adhemerval's libgomp-scalability patch set. The code looks good, and I can't see anything wrong.

The cancel-parallel-2 test that's reported to regress, does, sometimes. It never fails for me on qemu-test (aarch64, tx1). It *only* fails under the dejagnu test harness on x86_64 and ppc64le. When run by hand it succeeds, always. I cannot explain that at all. I've run the testsuite with OMP_DEBUG_ENV=verbose and see that the dejagnu environment is as expected.

Anyway, I can't make forward progress because I can't reproduce the problem under controlled conditions.
