As of v7.0.0-877-g70ac26b9e5 QEMU exposes its main event loop as
an QMP object. In the very next commit (v7.0.0-878-g71ad4713cc)
it was extended for thread-pool-min and thread-pool-max
attributes. Expose them under new <mainloop/> element.

The element has two optional attributes ``thread_pool_min`` and
``hread_pool_max`` which allow setting lower and upper boundary for number
of worker threads for given IOThread. :since:`Since 8.5.0`
+``defaultiothread``
+ The element then can have ``thread_pool_min`` and/or ``thread_pool_max``
+ attributes, which control the lower and upper boundary for number of worker
+ threads for the emulator. Emulator might be multithreaded and spawn so
+ called worker threads on demand. In general neither of these attributes
+ should be set (leaving the emulator use its own default values), unless the
+ emulator runs in a real time workload and thus can't afford unpredictability
+ of time it takes to spawn new worker threads. :since:`Since 8.5.0`
