Currently, push&  pop from event queue (both server&  client side)

every function that interacts with this queue can/does lock,
esp. in client where we have a different approach, "passing
the buck".

Therefore we need a separate lock just to protect event queue.

I'd feel more comfortable if Dan also reviews, but I'll give it a shot.

Why do these have early returns, implying NULL state is okay...

...even though uses like this blindly assume that state is non-NULL? One of the two places is wrong (I'd argue that the lock/unlock functions should be ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(1), since it looks like all callers avoid passing NULL).

Beyond that, looks okay to me.
