*
* Main loop services include file descriptor callbacks, bottom halves
* and timers (defined in qemu-timer.h). Bottom halves are similar to timers
* that execute immediately, but have a lower overhead and scheduling them
* is wait-free, thread-safe and signal-safe.
*
* It is sometimes useful to put a whole program in a coroutine. In this
* case, the coroutine actually should be started from within the main loop,
* so that the main loop can run whenever the coroutine yields. To do this,
* you can use a bottom half to enter the coroutine as soon as the main loop
* starts:
*

* QEMUCoroutine *co = opaque;

* also has the side effect of recalculating the sets of file descriptors
* that the main loop waits for.
