 - Minor fixes to taskqueue locking including making the locking for the
   taskqueue thread queeu actually work.
   - Untested
+- Add a kproc API that does what kthread does right now
+- Add a real kthread API that creates just another thread inside of a kproc
+  - Figure out what needs to be done to make a new kthread.. should each
+    kproc have one ksegroup and one kse per cpu?
+    - Do I just add the kse's when the first new thread is created?
+  - Consolidate most of the kernel procs into a 'system' kernel proc that
+    would be pid 0.
+  - Stick all the 'idle threads' in a single 'idle' kernel proc.
