2011-11-13Use generic lock-free queue for async threadsRickard Green
Queues used for communication between async threads and scheduler threads have been replaced with lock-free queues. Drivers using the driver_async functionality are not automatically locked to the system anymore, and can be unloaded as any dynamically linked in driver. Scheduling of ready async jobs is now also interleaved in between other jobs. Previously all ready async jobs was performed at once.
