 * The thread module aims at providing an interface suitable to implement
 * POSIX scheduling policies. As such, it provides scheduling classes and
 * policies that closely match the standard ones. The "real-time" policies
 * (FIFO and RR) directly map the first-in first-out (SCHED_FIFO) and
 * round-robin (SCHED_RR) policies, while the "time-sharing" policy (TS,
 * named that way because, unlike real-time threads, time sharing is enforced)
 * can be used for the normal SCHED_OTHER policy. The idle policy is reserved
 * for idling kernel threads.
 *
 * By convention, the name of a kernel thread is built by concatenating the
 * kernel name and the name of the start function, separated with an underscore.
 * Threads that are bound to a processor also include the "/cpu_id" suffix.
 * For example, "x15_thread_balance/1" is the name of the inter-processor
 * balancer thread of the second processor.
