I think you have wrapped yourself in nomenclature, and by using your own definitions of terms in strictly traditional meanings you have created problems which aren't really there.
If you don't like it don't use it. If you insist on your own definition of "thread" then your paragraph above may have meaning, but since your definition doesn't seem to match the way Linux is going to work, I'm not sure it's meaningful in any relevant context. -- bill davidsen <davidsen@tmr.com> CTO, TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with little computers since 1979. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
