Hmm.  If there is work happening at the platform level to improve
matters, then I'd definitely vote for taking the simplest solution
(ie -Kpthread everywhere) for now.  We can always do all that other
work later if nothing gets fixed; but why invest a lot of work for
what might be only a short-term problem?
