    // event as well. If global events were not in a total order, a deadlock
    // would occur for there will be two threads who would be waiting for
    // each other to execute the global events they themselves have executed.

    // To ensure this total order, we do two things.
    // First, before scheduling any global event, a thread needs to acquire
    // the lock globalQMutex. This ensures that only one thread can schedule
    // global events at any given time.
    // Second, the local events corresponding to a global event are always
    // first inserted in to the asyncq, irrespective of whether or not the
    // thread scheduling the event owns the eventq on which the event is
    // being scheduled. Thus global events have the same order in the asyncq
    // of each thread. When they are inserted in the actual eventq, the
    // comparators in the Event class ensure that the total order is
    // maintained.
