qemu_bh_schedule() is supposed to be thread-safe at least the first time
958e1b
it is called.  Unfortunately this is not quite true:
958e1b
958e1b
  bh->scheduled = 1;
958e1b
  aio_notify(bh->ctx);
958e1b
958e1b
Since another thread may run the BH callback once it has been scheduled,
958e1b
there is a race condition if the callback frees the BH before
958e1b
aio_notify(bh->ctx) has a chance to run.
