I still don't understand.  If you're getting EXCP_INTERRUPT it means:

1) that cpu_signal was called

2) in turn this means that qemu_cpu_kick was called

3) in turn this means that the iothread is trying to run via
qemu_mutex_lock_iothread (the iothread_requesting_mutex stuff).  So why
do you need an explicit qemu_notify_event?
