Two general issues with dropping the global mutex like this:

This is true for qemu-kvm only, right?

Nope, this applies to both implementations.

Oops.

qemu-kvm specific patches which add the cpu_single_env tracking (not
polished yet) are here:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/qemu/log/?h=spice.kvm.v28

Cannot spot that quickly: In which way are they specific to qemu-kvm?

cpu_single_env bookeeping. But if upstream needs that too having specific patches is pretty pointless. I'll go fix it up upstream then.

cheers,
