/*
 * An AsyncContext protects the callbacks of AIO requests and Bottom Halves
 * against interfering with each other. A typical example is qcow2 that accepts
 * asynchronous requests, but relies for manipulation of its metadata on
 * synchronous bdrv_read/write that doesn't trigger any callbacks.
 *
 * However, these functions are often emulated using AIO which means that AIO
 * callbacks must be run - but at the same time we must not run callbacks of
 * other requests as they might start to modify metadata and corrupt the
 * internal state of the caller of bdrv_read/write.
 *
 * To achieve the desired semantics we switch into a new AsyncContext.
 * Callbacks must only be run if they belong to the current AsyncContext.
 * Otherwise they need to be queued until their own context is active again.
 * This is how you can make qemu_aio_wait() wait only for your own callbacks.
 *
 * The AsyncContexts form a stack. When you leave a AsyncContexts, you always
 * return to the old ("parent") context.
