Can you just use a bottom half to defer this work to the I/O thread?
Bottom half scheduling has to be signal safe which means it will also be
thread safe.
Not that straight forward as I would have to pass arguments to the
bottom half.
Can you add a variant of qemu_bh_new that accepts a sizeof for the new
bottom half? Then the bottom half itself can be passed as the opaque and
used for the arguments.
That wouldn't help. I would have to create some kind of job queue which
is then processed by the bottom half.
