+ * An AsyncContext protects the callbacks of AIO requests and Bottom Halves
+ * against interfering with each other. A typical example is qcow2 that accepts
+ * asynchronous requests, but relies for manipulation of its metadata on
+ * synchronous bdrv_read/write that doesn't trigger any callbacks.
+ *
+ * However, these functions are often emulated using AIO which means that AIO
+ * callbacks must be run - but at the same time we must not run callbacks of
+ * other requests as they might start to modify metadata and corrupt the
+ * internal state of the caller of bdrv_read/write.
+ *
+ * To achieve the desired semantics we switch into a new AsyncContext.
+ * Callbacks must only be run if they belong to the current AsyncContext.
+ * Otherwise they need to be queued until their own context is active again.
+ * This is how you can make qemu_aio_wait() wait only for your own callbacks.
+ *
+ * The AsyncContexts form a stack. When you leave a AsyncContexts, you always
+ * return to the old ("parent") context.
