=Thread Scheduling Mask=
The thread scheduling mask is made of a low nibble (enum) and a high nibble (bitfield).
 
Low nibble:

| Pointer to linked list that has stolen it, or 0 if in normal list

A thread is scheduled *if and only if* its (full) scheduling mask is exactly 1. This allows debug-(un)locking of threads to be done transparently.
