Yes, I expect taskqs will work for you. As I said though, IMO the thread interface should be made public. In fact, it would be interesting to look at what interfaces are commonly used by drivers in Linux or Windows and make sure Solaris has similar functionality; the easier porting drivers is, the more people will do it.
