The bib mentions Anderson's (et al) work in multiple places, including the
ACM TOCS, IEEE Trans. On Parallel and Distributed Systems, and IEE Trans. On
Computers, dating from 1989 to 1992

	I believe the genesis of all these is Thomas Anderson's PhD work
	(Univ. of Washington, around 1990/1991/1992) on Scheduler
Activations.
	See SOSP (Symposium on Operating System Principles) or TOCS
(Transaction
	of Computer Systems, I think) from those years.  The kernel
cooperates
	with the user scheduler to let it know which execution contexts are
	really running, and the user level can map that to whatever logical
	threads it wants.
