Is it technically feasible to modify UML so that it uses "real"
threads instead?  (Perhaps at the cost of giving up the real process
separation in the UML and assuming processes are "good citizens".)

If yes, do you think it would be at the reach of someone who has no
kernel and UML hacking experience?  I presume the bulk of that would
be re-implementing the memory management part into UML, which is
currently offloaded to the host kernel?

Thanks for your help!
