The overall idea looks good but I think you should consider using
a thread pool to implement it. See below.

It'd be cleaner to pass a completion callback and have free/cleanup handled there.

qemu_thread_create() exits on failure, it shouldn't be called on
a guest triggerable path, eg. a buggy guest could call it up to
the point that pthread_create() returns EAGAIN.

Please use a thread pool (see thread_pool_submit_aio()). This takes care
of all the thread housekeeping for you in a safe way, and it provides a
completion callback API. The implementation could then be just about
having two lists: one for pending requests (fed here) and one for
completed requests (fed by the completion callback).

With a thread-pool, you'd just need to aio_poll() until the pending list
is empty and then clear the completed list.

Like for qemu_thread_create(), the guest shouldn't be responsible for
thread housekeeping. Getting the hcall status should just be about
finding the token in the pending or completed lists.
