charset="utf-8" The main loop has two AioContexts: qemu_aio_context and iohandler_ctx. The main loop runs them both, but nested aio_poll() calls on qemu_aio_context exclude iohandler_ctx. Which one should qemu_get_current_aio_context() return when called from the main loop? Document that it's always qemu_aio_context. This has subtle effects on functions that use qemu_get_current_aio_context(). For example, aio_co_reschedule_self() does not work when moving from iohandler_ctx to qemu_aio_context because qemu_get_current_aio_context() does not differentiate these two AioContexts. Document this in order to reduce the chance of future bugs.
