Side note: The main loop and IOThread are both event loops but their code is
not shared completely. Sometimes it is useful to remember that although they
are conceptually similar they are currently not interchangeable.
We need to be careful with the terminology. The choice made here, that
the main loop thread is not an IOThread, is somewhat unfortunate,
because traditionally, the "I/O thread" has been what the main loop
thread is called (in contrast to vcpu threads).
Note that the main loop thread could definitely be an IOThread, since it
has an AioContext and the IOThread is just a QOM veneer for AioContext.
It's just not done yet.
