I have trouble to add Marcell's thread id to pthread debug code,
since in my patch, I just use kernel thread address and user thread
address as thread id, simply because there are unique in address
space, sometimes a kernel thread not mapped to user thread will be
caught by debugger, in this case, managing the thread id is hard.
