QEMU initializes preallocated backend memory as the objects are parsed from
the command line. This is not optimal in some cases (e.g. memory spanning
multiple NUMA nodes) because the memory objects are initialized in series.

Allow the initialization to occur in parallel. In order to ensure optimal
thread placement, parallel initialization requires prealloc context threads
to be in use.
