That's true - i already prepared the thread management for that. The 
current lock could be renamed to the dispatcher lock - when 
inserting/removing threads from a process, the process should be just 
locked during the action. I have written a patch for the process locking 
mechanism that win2k uses - but Alex prefers to "upgrade" to xp and use 
pushlocks which aren't implemented yet.

I agree, and not just that, also everything that has to do with the 
KTHREAD/KPROCESS structures should be moved there.
