QMP is available before the machine is built only when QEMU was
started with --preconfig.
+Member 'coroutine' tells the QMP dispatcher whether the command handler
+is safe to be run in a coroutine. It defaults to false. If it is true,
+the command handler is called from coroutine context and may yield while
+waiting for an external event (such as I/O completion) in order to avoid
+blocking the guest and other background operations.
+
+Coroutine safety can be hard to prove, similar to thread safety. Common
+pitfalls are:
+
+- The global mutex isn't held across qemu_coroutine_yield(), so
+ operations that used to assume that they execute atomically may have
+ to be more careful to protect against changes in the global state.
+
+- Nested event loops (AIO_WAIT_WHILE() etc.) are problematic in
+ coroutine context and can easily lead to deadlocks. They should be
+ replaced by yielding and reentering the coroutine when the condition
+ becomes false.
+
+Since the command handler may assume coroutine context, any callers
+other than the QMP dispatcher must also call it in coroutine context.
+In particular, HMP commands calling such a QMP command handler must
+enter coroutine context before calling the handler.
+
+It is an error to specify both 'coroutine': true and 'allow-oob': true
+for a command. We don't currently have a use case for both together and
+without a use case, it's not entirely clear what the semantics should
+be.
+
The optional 'if' member specifies a conditional. See "Configuring
the schema" below for more on this.
