Good question. Note that the connection list is fairly static, and is
established (except w1) before threading is initiated.

The connection list is locked with a read/writer mutex. Connections
are only removed by the w1 code (since the operating system creates a
new bus master when one is removed and replaced). That is done only
while no 1-wire queries are pending (non write-starved mutex).
