// The mechanism in this file is very crude; every domain (thread) spawns its
// own secondary timer thread, and that timer thread *never idles*. It
// sleep-loops interrupting the domain.
//
// This will need replacement, particularly in order to achieve an actual
// state of idling when we're waiting on the outside world.  Though that might
// be as simple as making a secondary waitable start/stop-timer signalling
// system between the domain and its timer thread. We'll see.
//
// On the other hand, we don't presently have the ability to idle domains *at
// all*, and without the timer thread we're unable to otherwise preempt rust
// tasks. So ... one step at a time.
//
// The implementation here is "lockless" in the sense that it only involves
// one-directional signaling of one-shot events, so the event initiator just
// writes a nonzero word to a prederermined location and waits for the
// receiver to see it show up in their memory.
