    vkernel - Fix deadlocks with cothread locks
    
    * Callbacks into the main kernel are not allowed when holding a cothread
      lock as this could cause a deadlock between cpus.  If the callback into
      the kernel blocks the cothread lock, being a pthreads lock,
      remains locked.
    
    * Refactor the network and disk pipeline to hold the cothread lock for
      a much shorter period of time, allowing data to be pipelined without
      any stall conditions.
    
    * For vknet if the tx mbuf return fifo is full we wait until it isn't.
