I think you need a change to patch 5, because this patch reduces the scope
further, around cpu_interrupt_request, etc.

I think patch 5 should have

+    bool success;
+    qemu_mutex_lock_iothread();
+    success = cc->cpu_exec_interrupt(cpu, interrupt_request);
+    qemu_mutex_unlok_iothread();
+    if (success) {
-    if (cc->cpu_exec_interrupt(cpu, interrupt_request)) {

That way this patch maintains the scope of the lock.
