+to a Rust mutable reference, and use a shared reference instead.  The
+``qemu_api::cell`` module provides wrappers that can be used to tell the
+Rust compiler about interior mutability, and optionally to enforce locking
+rules for the "Big QEMU Lock".  In the future, similar cell types might
+also be provided for ``AioContext``-based locking as well.
+
+In particular, device code will usually rely on the ``BqlRefCell`` and
+``BqlCell`` type to ensure that data is accessed correctly under the
+"Big QEMU Lock".  These cell types are also known to the ``vmstate``
+crate, which is able to "look inside" them when building an in-memory
+representation of a ``struct``'s layout.  Note that the same is not true
+of a ``RefCell`` or ``Mutex``.
+
+Bindings code instead will usually use the ``Opaque`` type, which hides
+the contents of the underlying struct and can be easily converted to
+a raw pointer, for use in calls to C functions.  It can be used for
+example as follows::
+
+    #[repr(transparent)]
+    #[derive(Debug, qemu_api_macros::Wrapper)]
+    pub struct Object(Opaque<bindings::Object>);
+
+where the special ``derive`` macro provides useful methods such as
+``from_raw``, ``as_ptr`, ``as_mut_ptr`` and ``raw_get``.  The bindings will
+then manually check for the big QEMU lock with assertions, which allows
+the wrapper to be declared thread-safe::
+
+    unsafe impl Send for Object {}
+    unsafe impl Sync for Object {}
