#include threads/switch.h

#### struct thread *switch_threads (struct thread *cur, struct thread *next);
####
#### Switches from CUR, which must be the running thread, to NEXT,
#### which must also be running switch_threads(), returning CUR in
#### NEXTs context.
####
#### This function works by assuming that the thread were switching
#### into is also running switch_threads().Thus, all it has to do is
#### preserve a few registers on the stack, then switch stacks and
#### restore the registers.As part of switching stacks we record the
#### current stack pointer in CURs thread structure.

# but requires us to preserve %ebx, %ebp, %esi, %edi.See
# [SysV-ABI-386] pages 3-11 and 3-12 for details.

# This stack frame must match the one set up by thread_create()
