I think we're talking past each other due to different terminologies.
Linus seems to use `thread' to mean `a process sharing address space
(other than normal text segment sharing)', whereas in Plan 9, that's
just a process; some share address space, some don't.  A Plan 9 thread
is entirely a user-mode creation of the Plan 9 thread library, which
doesn't implement POSIX threads.
