I'm playing a bit with mechanism (register_swi(), unregister_swi() and
sched_ithd()). It work, but it not applicable for widely usage, because
number of SWI_XXX slots very limited. To example, someone want create
some driver and use for sending data to device function, called by
software interrupt. Today, this someone must change kernel sources at
least in <sys/interrupt.h> to add define of new SWI_XXX. If not to do
this, there is risk, to use number of softint, used someone else...
