libthr does support process scope and system scope thread, it is
controllable by user code, the pthread_attr_setscope() can tune
the scope, however kernel has a sysctl can override user setting,
if thr_scope is zero, the thread scheduling scope is set by user
code,  if it is 1, kernel will force all threads to be process
scope, if it is 2, all threads will be system scope, ignore
user setting, I use it only for debugging purpose.
