The problem here is with specially written native code, i.e. device drivers.
Most of these don't run at all, or at least not very reliably without the native
thread support.
At least this is my problem with a green-thread-only port.
As the drivers I'm currently using are all based on RXTX, a proper linux
port of JavaComm which worked with green threads would actually solve this
problem, but since JavaComm has remained unchanged for a substantial period
of time, I haven't been able to rely on this
