// Here we define an action to do in the idle thread. For the
// synthetic architecture it makes no sense to spin eating processor
// time that other processes could make use of. Instead we call
// select. The itimer will still go off and kick the scheduler back
// into life so giving up an escape path from the select. There is one
// catch-22: this only works if we are using the real time clock for
// itimer, not the virtual clock.  The virtual clock works on time the
// process actually uses. When it's sitting in the select it does not
// use any time, so the timer does not expire!  Also we don't do a
// select when the THREAD_YIELD option is in use since we want the
// yield to be called regularly.
