Yes, I am sure that it is a scheduling bug. I reach a state in which the
executing task is not ready after the dispatch loop in _Thread_Dispatch().
If it is a bug I would like to know the detailed scenario so I can reproduce it
in the simulator.
The bug can be reproduced with smptests/smp08 on Qemu.
After the current patch set review and integration I will propose a new
spinlock API. After that I am ready to commit the ARM SMP support with the
existing scheduler. We can then look this problem more closely.
I have a working alternative simple scheduler.
