This is a good idea!

Just one thing, though it belongs more in the two series which 
introduced generated_co_wrapper_simple and generated_co_wrapper_blk - I 
would make this the "official" wrapper.  So perhaps:

- generated_co_wrapper_simple -> coroutine_wrapper
- generated_co_wrapper_blk -> coroutine_wrapper_mixed
- generated_co_wrapper -> coroutine_wrapper_mixed_bdrv

?  It is not clear to me yet if you will have bdrv_* functions that take 
the rdlock as well - in which case however coroutine_wrapper_bdrv would 
not be hard to add.

Even without looking at the lock, the three series are going in the 
right direction of ultimately having more "simple" coroutine wrappers at 
the blk_* level and more coroutine functions (ultimately less wrappers, 
too) at the bdrv_* level.
