[Barrelfish-users] Conditions of thread movement

[Simon Peter]

domain_thread_move should be considered experimental. Thread state is 
not moved with the thread and, as such, the function only works when the 
thread is newly created and has never executed.

It was implemented to support Linux programs, some of which first create 
a thread with pthread_create() and then pin it to a core using 
sched_setaffinity. We can emulate that behavior using domain_thread_move.
