I think it is not too hard to mix Lwt.t and Defered.t values, one can
start with something like that:

  let lwt_of_async t =
    let waiter, wakener = Lwt.wait () in
    Defered.upon t (Lwt.wakeup wakener);
    waiter

  let async_of_lwt t =
    Defered.create (fun ivar -> Lwt.on_success t (Ivar.fill ivar))

But we need to check how this behaves with error handling, and also the
local storage of Lwt.

For the scheduler the easiest solution is probalby to write a Lwt engine
based on Async.
