Hrm... allowing the guest direct control over a qemu internal mutex
sets off alarm bells for me.

It could be ok, depending on exactly where the mutex is taken, and
whether it has a timeout and so forth, but it makes me nervous.

If nothing else this needs some substantial comments explaining the
locking scheme and why it's safe to give userspace direct control over
the unlock.
