well... I rethink my design and I'll alter it to not use the rwlock at all.
I'll use per-emuldata mutex and there will be no SLIST of linux-thrads (I'll use
proc->p_emuldata to point at that)

thnx! the psignal() is exactly what I wanted to know. but the original problem
was that INVARIATNS
causes panic when LIST_FOREACH() {LIST_REMOV();}
I found a solution (I reference the data and free it in a separate step) to
this so everything is nice
and smooth now :)
thnx!
