Sorry for sending piecewise mail like this, but I just thought about it
some more and I feel that unconditionally blocking irqs (or what would amount
to taking a spinlock on an SMP) for the duration of a JNI call is
probably also not what we want, (especially if that JNI code may block
or call back into jthreads.)
I guess it has to do with the question Alexandre raised: should we attempt
to support user JNI code to the best of our abilities or not.
It's such a mess.
