btw., i wondered about that limit - don't we want to fix it?

I mean, there's no fundamental reason why brlocks should do 'nothing' 
in worker threads. In fact it's a subtle breakage waiting AFAICS.

We should have enumeration for all threads that kvm starts, and that 
we can use for a generic pause/resume facility. Can you see anything 
that prevents that model?

Thanks,
