I'm not too sure about the kernel code.  If you have KSEs
working for libthr, then I assume there is very little extra
kernel code needed.  You do need to have get_mcontext() and
set_mcontext() implemented in machdep.c, though.  It looks
like you do (although nothing is done with clear_ret in
get_mcontext()).

David, Julian, care to comment?
