Yes, this works; there is only one consumer.

Holding locks within a callback can be very painful, especially if there
is a chance that the callback will take a very coarse lock such as big
QEMU lock.  It can cause AB-BA deadlocks.

Ok fine I'll change that.

static void flush_queued_work(CPUState *cpu)
{
     struct qemu_work_item *wi;

     if (cpu->queued_work_first == NULL) {
         return;

     qemu_mutex_lock(&cpu->work_mutex);

     qemu_cond_broadcast(&qemu_work_cond);
