agreed - i'll fix this. But i can see no big conceptual issue here -
these resources are all attached to the user context, and that doesnt
change upon an 'async context-switch'. So it's "only" a matter of
properly separating the user execution context from the kernel execution
context. The hardest bit was getting the ptregs details right - the
FPU/SSE state is pretty much async already (in the hardware too) and
isnt even touched by any of these codepaths.
