[Qemu-block] [PATCH 0/3] do not use aio_context_acquire/release in AIO-based drivers

[Paolo Bonzini]

aio_context_acquire/release are only going away as soon as the block layer
becomes thread-safe, but we can already move away to other finer-grained
mutex whenever possible.

These three drivers don't use coroutines, hence a QemuMutex is a fine
primitive to use for protecting any per-BDS data in the libraries
they use.  The QemuMutex must protect any fd handlers or bottom halves,
and also the BlockDriver callbacks which were implicitly being called
under aio_context_acquire.
