This allows singleton, globally accessible tasks to be created, for the purpose of creating a global, default I/O loop.
It's a function that takes a pointer to a pointer-sized memory location, a task builder, and a task function, and returns a singleton channel to another task. It uses compare and swap.
For uv to use it we will have a single
uintptr_t
field onrust_kernel
calledglobal_io_chan
to hold the handle.It's in the
priv
mod because I couldn't think of where else to put it. It is not intended to be a public API.
