The prepare function before unlocking BQL.  There're only three places that can
release the BQL: unlock(), cond_wait() or cond_timedwait().

I'd squash this patch into the next one.

I don't quite like the function name, but don't really have a better 
suggestion .... maybe qemu_mutex_might_unlock_iothread(), similar to 
might_sleep() or might_fault() in the kernel. (although here it's pretty 
clear and not a "might"; could be useful in other context where we might 
conditionally unlock the BQL at some point in the future, though)

Yes, IMHO "might" describes a capability of doing something, here it's not
(this one should only be called right before releasing bql, not within any
context of having some capability).  The other option I thought was "pre" but
it will be just a short version of "prepare".

Let me know if you have a better suggestion on naming. :) Otherwise I'll keep
the naming, squash this patch into the next and keep your r-b for that.

Thanks,

Fine with me :)
