 * Capabilities
 *
 * For details on the high-level design, see
 *   http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/Rts/Scheduler
 *
 * A Capability holds all the state an OS thread/task needs to run
 * Haskell code: its STG registers, a pointer to its TSO, a nursery
 * etc. During STG execution, a pointer to the Capabilitity is kept in
 * a register (BaseReg).
 *
 * Only in a THREADED_RTS build will there be multiple capabilities,
 * in the non-threaded RTS there is one global capability, called
 * MainCapability.
