Yeah, sent this last thing before Christmas and it shows. :)

Not necessarily. You can have one coroutine calling qio_channel_yield(),
and then the non-coroutine code can call qio_channel_set_aio_context()
before the coroutine reenters.
This actually happens in the next patch. Where the NBD socket is quiescent
and no response is in flight, such as during a bdrv_drain_begin/end()
section, the "coroutine that receives NBD headers" has yielded. This
is also the time when set_aio_context can be called.

The idea is that this would be called by a coroutine after a
recv or send that returns EAGAIN (with G_IO_IN for recv and
G_IO_OUT for send). If not exclusive, you'd have to check
for ioc->read_coroutine == ioc->write_coroutine in the handler.
Not a big deal, I can do it, but it adds an edge case and I
didn't see a use for it.

Sure.
Thanks for the speedy review!
