We don't need the wrappers.  They are there for the big lock just
because TCG needs extra work for iothread_requesting_mutex.

Please explain the motivation.  AFAICT, the big qemu lock is sufficient.

Oh, this is one of the series locks for the removal of big qemu lock.
The degradation of big lock will take several steps, including to
introduce device's private lock. Till then, when the device add path
from iothread and the remove path in io-dispatch is out of the big
qemu lock.  We need this extra lock.

These series is too big, so I send out the 1st phase for review.

Sorry, could you give more detail about TCG, what is extra work.

void qemu_mutex_lock_iothread(void)
{
    if (!tcg_enabled()) {
        qemu_mutex_lock(&qemu_global_mutex);
    } else {
        iothread_requesting_mutex = true;
        if (qemu_mutex_trylock(&qemu_global_mutex)) {
            qemu_cpu_kick_thread(first_cpu);
            qemu_mutex_lock(&qemu_global_mutex);
        }
        iothread_requesting_mutex = false;
        qemu_cond_broadcast(&qemu_io_proceeded_cond);
    }
}

You do not need any of the code in the "else" branch for the device tree
mutex, so you do not need wrappers.

Why do you want to remove the big qemu lock?

Even now it is not heavily contended.  We should focus on fixing the
cases where is it contended, instead of removing it completely, which is
sure to make further development harder and is likely to introduce
locking bugs.

Even the first phase is too big.
