5 #### Switches from CUR, which must be the running thread, to NEXT,
6 #### which must also be running switch_threads(), returning CUR in
9 #### This function works by assuming that the thread we're switching
10 #### into is also running switch_threads(). Thus, all it has to do is
11 #### preserve a few registers on the stack, then switch stacks and
12 #### restore the registers. As part of switching stacks we record the
13 #### current stack pointer in CUR's thread structure.
