    Great work Simon!  I'm really happy to see the excellent progress
    that has been made on the LWP front!  Although I know much of the
    kernel side still needs the BGL, just having this LWP<->Process
    infrastructure gives us an excellent roadmap for future BGL removal.

    I think we made all the right decisions with regards to the
    threading model.
