This is the rebased and updated version of the patches I posted a
couple months ago (well before soft freeze :)).
This version introduces a qemu_mutex_iothread_locked() primitive
in order to avoid recursive locking of the BQL. The previous
attempts, which used functions such as address_space_rw_unlocked,
required the introduction of a multitude of *_unlocked functions
(e.g. address_space_ldl_unlocked or dma_buf_write_unlocked).
Note that adding unlocked access to TCG would require reverting
commit 3b64349 (memory: Replace io_mem_read/write with
memory_region_dispatch_read/write, 2015-04-26).

Jan Kiszka (4):
memory: Add global-locking property to memory regions
memory: let address_space_rw/ld*/st* run outside the BQL
kvm: First step to push iothread lock out of inner run loop
kvm: Switch to unlocked PIO
Paolo Bonzini (5):
main-loop: use qemu_mutex_lock_iothread consistently and simplify it
main-loop: introduce qemu_mutex_iothread_locked
exec: pull qemu_flush_coalesced_mmio_buffer() into
address_space_rw/ld*/st*
acpi: mark PMTIMER as unlocked
kvm: Switch to unlocked MMIO
