I have to ask:

Why it is so important to you that the libthr performance gains
be possible to achieve in some other obscure fashion?  So FreeBSD
finally has a working kernel-based threading implementation and
it's not your pet async call gate design.  Get over it!  It's
not rfork processes masquerading as threads, it's real threads.
In the kernel.  End of story.

Please stop spreading FUD and drop this thread.  Your contribution
to it has ceased to be productive.
