:And what about the stuff in kern_synch.c ? I'm pretty sure that *some*

:not like to touch this now.
:Is this something for stage 3 or even stage 4 ?

    I think you are right.  We can temporarily not worry about kern_synch.c,
    but eventually we will want to abstract some of the API to give 
    schedulers more leeway.
