This one-liner is the core of the real fix:

--- a/qemu-coroutine.c
+++ b/qemu-coroutine.c
@@ -148,5 +148,5 @@ void coroutine_fn qemu_coroutine_yield(void)
     }
 
     self->caller = NULL;
-    coroutine_swap(self, to);
+    qemu_coroutine_switch(self, to, COROUTINE_YIELD);
 }

There is no reason at all for qemu_coroutine_yield() to go through
coroutine_swap(). The cleanups that can be made on top is to inline
coroutine_swap() in qemu_coroutine_enter(), and to change its use of
COROUTINE_YIELD into a new COROUTINE_ENTER (which is never looked at
anyway, but we're not yielding here).

All the other solutions take a unnecessarily complicated design as
granted and further complicate it to distinguish two unrelated code
paths.
