Actually, this is going to become a bit ugly, too. I can't just schedule
the BH and return because then the node isn't drained any more when the
BH actually runs - and when it's not drained, we don't know where the
coroutine is, so we can't reenter it.
With an AIO_WAIT_WHILE() in the old thread, it should work, though...
