These trace events were very useful to help me to understand and find a
reordering issue in vfio, for example:

qemu_mutex_lock locked mutex 0x10905ad8
  vfio_region_write  (0001:03:00.0:region1+0xc0, 0x2020c, 4)
qemu_mutex_unlock unlocked mutex 0x10905ad8
qemu_mutex_lock locked mutex 0x10905ad8
  vfio_region_write  (0001:03:00.0:region1+0xc4, 0xa0000, 4)
qemu_mutex_unlock unlocked mutex 0x10905ad8

that also helped me to see the desired result after the fix:

qemu_mutex_lock locked mutex 0x10905ad8
  vfio_region_write  (0001:03:00.0:region1+0xc0, 0x2000c, 4)
  vfio_region_write  (0001:03:00.0:region1+0xc4, 0xb0000, 4)
qemu_mutex_unlock unlocked mutex 0x10905ad8

So it could be a good idea to have these traces implemented. It's worth
mentioning that they should be surgically enabled during the debugging,
otherwise it can flood the trace logs with lock/unlock messages.

How to use it:
trace-event qemu_mutex_lock on|off
trace-event qemu_mutex_unlock on|off
or
trace-event qemu_mutex* on|off

[Also handle trylock, cond_wait and win32; trace "unlocked" while still
 in the critical section, so that "unlocked" always comes before the
 next "locked" tracepoint. - Paolo]
