Add a better way of detecting if a low-level lock is in use.
When switching out a thread due to blocking in the UTS, don't
switch to the KSE's scheduler stack only to switch back to
another thread. If possible switch to the new thread directly

o Better protect cancellation checks.
o Don't set KSE specific data when creating new KSEs; rely on the
first upcall of the KSE to set it.
o Add the ability to set the maximum concurrency level and do this
automatically. We should have a way to enable/disable this with
some sort of tunable because some applications may not want this
to be the default.
o Hold the scheduling lock across thread switch calls.
o If scheduling of a thread fails, make sure to remove it from the list
of active threads.
o Better protect accesses to a joining threads when the target thread is
exited and detached.
o Remove some macro definitions that are now provided by <sys/kse.h>.
o Don't leave the library in threaded mode if creation of the initial
KSE fails.
o Wakeup idle KSEs when there are threads ready to run.
o Maintain the number of threads active in the priority queue.
While I'm here, use the TAILQ_FOREACH macro instead of a more

Use noupcall and nocompleted flags in the KSE mailbox. These
require kernel changes to work which will be committed sometime
later. Things still work without the changes.
Remove the general kse entry function and use two different
functions -- one for scope system threads and one for scope
process threads. The scope system function is not yet enabled
and we use the same function for all threads at the moment.
Keep a copy of the KSE stack for the case that a KSE runs
a scope system thread and uses the same stack as the thread
(no upcalls are generated, so a separate stack isn't needed).
This isn't enabled yet.
Use a separate field for the KSE waiting flag. It isn't
correct to use the mailbox flags field.
The following fixes were provided by David Xu:
o Initialize condition variable locks with thread versions
of the low-level locking functions instead of the kse versions.
o Enable threading before creating the first thread instead
of after.
o Don't enter critical regions when trying to malloc/free
or call functions that malloc/free.
o Take the scheduling lock when inheriting thread attributes.
o Check the attribute's stack pointer instead of the
attributes stack size for null when allocating a
thread's stack.
o Add a kseg reinit function so we don't have to destroy and
then recreate the same lock.
o Check the return value of kse_create() and return an
appropriate error if it fails.
o Don't forget to destroy a thread's locks when freeing it.
o Examine the correct flags word for checking to see if
a thread is in a synchronization queue.

The ability to create more than 1 KSE via pthread_setconcurrency()

Those should come shortly.
There are still some known issues which davidxu and I are working
on, but it'll make it easier for us by committing what we have.
This library now passes all of the ACE tests that libc_r passes
with the exception of one. It also seems to work OK with KDE
including konqueror, kwrite, etc. I haven't been able to get
mozilla to run due to lack of java plugin, so I'd be interested
to see how it works with that.
