executed as an iohandler also delays the execution of other iohandlers.
In the following patch series,
Can you please include detailed performance data with and without this
series?
Perhaps runs of migration with jitterd running in the guest.

The migration has been moved to a separate thread to
reduce the qemu_mutex contention and iohandler starvation.
