/**
 * Queue of events sorted in time order
 *
 * Events are scheduled (inserted into the event queue) using the
 * schedule() method. This method either inserts a <i>synchronous</i>
 * or <i>asynchronous</i> event.
 *
 * Synchronous events are scheduled using schedule() method with the
 * argument 'global' set to false (default). This should only be done
 * from a thread holding the event queue lock
 * (EventQueue::service_mutex). The lock is always held when an event
 * handler is called, it can therefore always insert events into its
 * own event queue unless it voluntarily releases the lock.
 *
 * Events can be scheduled across thread (and event queue borders) by
 * either scheduling asynchronous events or taking the target event
 * queue's lock. However, the lock should <i>never</i> be taken
 * directly since this is likely to cause deadlocks. Instead, code
 * that needs to schedule events in other event queues should
 * temporarily release its own queue and lock the new queue. This
 * prevents deadlocks since a single thread never owns more than one
 * event queue lock. This functionality is provided by the
 * ScopedMigration helper class. Note that temporarily migrating
 * between event queues can make the simulation non-deterministic, it
 * should therefore be limited to cases where that can be tolerated
 * (e.g., handling asynchronous IO or fast-forwarding in KVM).
 *
 * Asynchronous events can also be scheduled using the normal
 * schedule() method with the 'global' parameter set to true. Unlike
 * the previous queue migration strategy, this strategy is fully
 * deterministic. This causes the event to be inserted in a separate
 * queue of asynchronous events (async_queue), which is merged main
 * event queue at the end of each simulation quantum (by calling the
 * handleAsyncInsertions() method). Note that this implies that such
 * events must happen at least one simulation quantum into the future,
 * otherwise they risk being scheduled in the past by
 * handleAsyncInsertions().
