qemu_bh_schedule() is supposed to be thread-safe at least the first time
9ae3a8
it is called.  Unfortunately this is not quite true:
9ae3a8
9ae3a8
  bh->scheduled = 1;
9ae3a8
  aio_notify(bh->ctx);
9ae3a8
9ae3a8
Since another thread may run the BH callback once it has been scheduled,
9ae3a8
there is a race condition if the callback frees the BH before
9ae3a8
aio_notify(bh->ctx) has a chance to run.
