[Qemu-devel] [RFC v2 01/15] Add an explanation of when a function should be marked coroutine_fn

[Charlie Shepherd]

Coroutine functions that can yield directly or indirectly should be annotated
with a coroutine_fn annotation. Add an explanation to that effect in
include/block/coroutine.h.

either

+ * Some functions dynamically determine whether to yield or not based on
