    userland threading to be under the complete control of userland.
Hmmm... the kernel would at least have to be aware of userland threading 
for processes that are threaded across multiple CPUs, no?

I would have thought that the ideal would be that userland threading and 
kernel threading are really the same thing, like kernel and userland 
messages. Or am I just missing something obvious?
