[Qemu-devel] [RFC] hw/qxl: three more unlocks

[Alon Levy]

---
Basically, anything that does a:
 kvm_main_cpu
 io exit
 write to red_worker pipe
 wait on read from red_worker pipe
should relingquish the lock during that wait, no?
 
Anyway, I had a lockup, saw it was in this situation with gdb, didn't record
which function exactly, and it was solved by adding these three locks (so one
of them helped..)
