be used to reap unused threads.
Of course, the user-configurable pool size may not be necessary. We
might hard-code it. Or even allow the AML to create as many threads as
necessary (assuming we trust the BIOS).

default behaviour for the kernel on all
platforms,
however, since a careful reading of the ACPI
spec suggests that the behaviour of the nx6125 DSDT is in compliance
with
this spec and that any BIOS may potentially require this feature.
