/**
 * Coroutines are a mechanism for stack switching and can be used for
 * cooperative userspace threading.  These functions provide a simple but
 * useful flavor of coroutines that is suitable for writing sequential code,
 * rather than callbacks, for operations that need to give up control while
 * waiting for events to complete.
 *
 * These functions are re-entrant and may be used outside the BQL.
 *
 * Functions that execute in coroutine context cannot be called
 * directly from normal functions.  Use @coroutine_fn to mark such
 * functions.  For example:
 *
 *   static void coroutine_fn foo(void) {
 *       ....
 *   }
 *
 * In the future it would be nice to have the compiler or a static
 * checker catch misuse of such functions.  This annotation might make
 * it possible and in the meantime it serves as documentation.
