This should not be a problem with dynticks+iothread (i.e. it should work
or not work equally). We now run just this basically when an alarm fires:
t->expired = t->pending = 1;
qemu_notify_event();
The rest is always done in the iothread. The iothread will then
suspend/resume the VCPU thread around the unchaining, so what matters is
(in Unix parlance) signal-safety of the unchaining, not thread-safety.
