Does this require threads the kernel knows about?  Many existing UNIX
systems have userland-only threads packages (I think all but the latest
HP-UX may have userland-only threads - I think recent HP-UXes have
threads of which the kernel is aware - and I think the freely-available
BSDs have userland threads, although I think some of them, at least in
the latest versions, might have the kernel infrastructure needed to have
the kernel know about the threads).
