happens, the context of the interrupted thread is exported to
userland. Unlike most contexts, it will be an async context and
we cannot easily use our existing functions to set such a
context.
To avoid a lot of complexity that may possibly interfere with
the common case, we simply let the kernel deal with it. However,
we don't use the EPC based syscall path to invoke setcontext(2).
No, we use the break-based syscall path. That way the trapframe
will be compatible with the context we're trying to restore and
we save the kernel a lot of trouble. The kind of trouble we did
not want to go though ourselves...
However, we also need to set the threads mailbox and there's no
syscall to help us out. To avoid creating a new syscall, we use
the context itself to pass the information to the kernel so that
the kernel can update the mailbox. This involves setting a flag
(_MC_FLAGS_KSE_SET_MBOX) and setting ifa (the address) and isr
(the value).
TCB. We know that the thread pointer points to &tcb->tcb_tp, so all
we have to do is subtract offsetof(struct tcb, tcb_tp) from the
thread pointer to get to the TCB. Any reasonably smart compiler will
translate accesses to fields in the TCB as negative offsets from TP.
In _tcb_set() make sure the fake TCB gets a pointer to the current
KCB, just like any other TCB. This fixes a NULL-pointer dereference
in _thr_ref_add() when it tried to get the current KSE.

This eliminates ping-ponging of locks, where the idle KSE wakes
up only to find the lock it needs is being held. This gives
little or no gain to M:N mode but greatly speeds up 1:1 mode.

handed-off/signaled to a higher priority thread. Note that when
there are idle KSEs that could run the higher priority thread,
we still add the preemption point because it seems to take the
kernel a while to schedule an idle KSE. The drawbacks are that
threads will be swapped more often between CPUs (KSEs) and
that there will be an extra userland context switch (the idle
KSE is still woken and will probably resume the preempted
thread). We'll revisit this if and when idle CPU/KSE wakeup
times improve.
