Changes since v3: - the threadlet API changed: the sys_async_threadlet() syscall now takes a 'completion event' pointer, and auto-completes it into the completion ring. I've updated the test-threadlet.c code to make use of it. So completion of threadlets and syslets is quite similar now - sharing even more infrastructure. (To get true pthread compatibility a sys_exit() driven CLEARTID completion method will be added too in the future). - a small performance fix for syslet rescheduling. The syslet ABI has not changed. - test-threadlet.c fixes a thread stack leak, and the other tests too have a number of small fixes and cleanups.
