  (1) 物理コア数に対して十分な LWP が割り当てられないことがあるので, 
      必要に応じて thr_setconcurrency() を呼んで少し小細工をしておく.

      (コメントによると, 30-way のシステムで 2~3 LWP しか割り当てられないこともあるとか.
       なお, 以下のコードは対処療法であって, THR_BOUND で LWP と対応づける等の方が正しい, とのこと)
      ---------------------------------------- -}

      // 4376845 -- libthread/kernel don't provide enough LWPs to utilize all CPUs.
      //
      // On multiprocessors systems, libthread sometimes under-provisions our
      // process with LWPs.  On a 30-way systems, for instance, we could have
      // 50 user-level threads in ready state and only 2 or 3 LWPs assigned
      // to our process.  This can result in under utilization of PEs.
      // I suspect the problem is related to libthread's LWP
      // pool management and to the kernel's SIGBLOCKING "last LWP parked"
      // upcall policy.
      //
      // The following code is palliative -- it attempts to ensure that our
      // process has sufficient LWPs to take advantage of multiple PEs.
      // Proper long-term cures include using user-level threads bound to LWPs
      // (THR_BOUND) or using LWP-based synchronization.  Note that there is a
      // slight timing window with respect to sampling _os_thread_count, but
      // the race is benign.  Also, we should periodically recompute
      // _processors_online as the min of SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN and the
      // the number of PEs in our partition.  You might be tempted to use
      // THR_NEW_LWP here, but I'd recommend against it as that could
      // result in undesirable growth of the libthread's LWP pool.
      // The fix below isn't sufficient; for instance, it doesn't take into count
      // LWPs parked on IO.  It does, however, help certain CPU-bound benchmarks.
      //
      // Some pathologies this scheme doesn't handle:
      // *  Threads can block, releasing the LWPs.  The LWPs can age out.
      //    When a large number of threads become ready again there aren't
      //    enough LWPs available to service them.  This can occur when the
      //    number of ready threads oscillates.
      // *  LWPs/Threads park on IO, thus taking the LWP out of circulation.
      //
      // Finally, we should call thr_setconcurrency() periodically to refresh
      // the LWP pool and thwart the LWP age-out mechanism.
      // The "+3" term provides a little slop -- we want to slightly overprovision.
