Why is this thread safe?
qemu_mutex_lock_iothread() is protecting (at least) cpu_work_first on
each cpu. How can we be sure that _nothing_ will change that while we
are waiting? A fast look through the tree don't show anything that
runs here that drops the lock. I am missing something?

agree with rest of the changes.
Later, Juan.
