Hmm, actually I don't know in which case it'd be considered as "preemptive
at kernel level"... In the case where a thread calls a syscall and gets
blocked, the entire process gets blocked not just that thread. In
the case where the syscalls are converted to asynchronous calls, would
this be the case?
Thanks
