/* BORKAGE as of 11 Apr 02

Note!  This implementation is so poor as to not be suitable for use by
anyone at all!

- properly save scheduler private state in signal delivery frames.

- fd-poll optimisation (don't select with empty sets)

- signals interrupting read/write and nanosleep, and take notice
  of SA_RESTART or not

- return bogus RA: %EAX trashed, so pthread_joiner gets nonsense
  exit codes

- when a thread is done mark its stack as noaccess 

- make signal return and .fini call be detected via request mechanism

   wait for the requesting threads to fall into the the WaitFD state
   before we can actually finally deliver the results, so this
   procedure doesn't do that; complete_blocked_syscalls() does it.

   It might seem odd that a thread which has done a blocking syscall
   is not in WaitFD state; the way this can happen is if it initially
   becomes WaitFD, but then a signal is delivered to it, so it becomes
   Runnable for a while.  In this case we have to wait for the
   sighandler to return, whereupon the WaitFD state is resumed, and
   only at that point can the I/O result be delivered to it.  However,
   this point may be long after the fd is actually ready.  

   So, poll_for_ready_fds() merely detects fds which are ready.
   complete_blocked_syscalls() does the second half of the trick,
   possibly much later: it delivers the results from ready fds to
   threads in WaitFD state.
