Here is the problem: The ATAPI emulation uses synchronous blk_read()
instead of the AIO or coroutine interfaces. This means that it keeps
polling for request completion while it holds the BQL until the request
is completed.

I will look at this.


We can (and should) fix that, otherwise the VCPUs is blocked while we're
reading from the image, even without a hang. It doesn't fully fix your
problem, though, as bdrv_drain_all() and friends still exist.

Any idea which commands actually call bdrv_drain_alll?
