It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to expose:

  qemu_logfile_init()

and make vl.c and main.c call it before the setup. Then you can drop the
flag or even just g_assert(qemu_log_mutex_initialised) in qemu_set_log
and qemu_set_logfile.

In fact you could just use:

  static void __attribute__((__constructor__)) qemu_logfile_init(void)

and make the compiler do it for you.
