Kevin Wolf identified some issues with the virtio-blk iothread-vq-mapping patch
series that was merged at the end of 2023:
1. s->rq is restarted from one AioContext and races with the other
   iothread-vq-mapping AioContexts.
2. Failure to set the AioContext is no longer fatal since the IO_CODE APIs can
   be called from any thread. We can relax the error handling behavior.
3. Starting dataplane must self-trigger the ioeventfd even in a drained
   section. Failure to do so could lead to an unresponsive virtio-blk device.

This patch series addresses these issues. The first few patches merge the
hw/block/dataplane/virtio-blk.c code into hw/block/virtio-blk.c so that s->rq
can easily be restarted in the correct AioContexts.

Stefan Hajnoczi (6):
  virtio-blk: move dataplane code into virtio-blk.c
  virtio-blk: rename dataplane create/destroy functions
  virtio-blk: rename dataplane to ioeventfd
  virtio-blk: restart s->rq reqs in vq AioContexts
  virtio-blk: tolerate failure to set BlockBackend AioContext
  virtio-blk: always set ioeventfd during startup

Thanks, applied to the block branch.
