Creation of Thread

    oskit_u32_t (*new_thread)(struct tcb *)

This function is called whenever a new thread is created. The tcb of the new thread is passed as argument. The scheduler should update it's data structure to incorporate this thread.
The tcb has the following fields meant for use by the scheduler.

•  oskit_u32_t status
  

  The status field is the current state of the thread. It is amongst
  1. THREAD_ON_CPU
  2. THREAD_READY
  3. THREAD_SUSPENDED
  4. THREAD_BLOCKED
  5. THREAD_EXITED
  6. THREAD_MISSED_DEADLINE

  The scheduler must keep the status field consistent because the it is inspected by some thread library routines. For example the thread_resume system call checks whether the current status of the thread is THREAD_SUSPEND & only then resumes the thread.

•  oskit_u32_t sched_field
  

  This field is entirely for private use of the scheduler & is not inspected by any kernel routine. One possible use of this field could be as next pointers if the tasks are stored in a linked list

The new_thread need not be marked THREAD_READY.It's' totally up to the scheduler to schedule the new_thread.
