CSW: # of context-switches (seen by the Xenomai scheduler, not the Linux
one)
PF: # of page faults (should stop increasing as soon as mlockall is in
effect)
STAT: a bitfield describing the internal state of the thread. Bit values
are defined in include/nucleus/thread.h (See status and mode bits). The
STAT field from /proc/xenomai/sched gives a 1-letter-per-bit symbolic
translation of a the most significant subset of those bits (from a user
POV, that is). See "Status symbols" in the same source file.
