Yes indeed. We're now able to see in simulation that if a userspace process
uses 100% CPU, its thread ID, rather than what was usually some random
kthread, gets written out most of the time. I donno if that meets your
criteria for a "real" use case, but I hope it's at least sufficient testing of
the code for now.

Thanks,
Christopher
