rwlock is insufficient, need a way to force the vcpu off so a writer can
actually do something.
So we need some kind of priority rwlock where a reader lets the lock
know how it can force it off in case a writer comes along.
If the reader is the VCPU thread, the VCPU thread can always be
bounced via qemu_cpu_kick.
Right, I just want the lock to do it automatically instead of sprinkling
it everywhere we take a write lock.
