Make sure you fix thr_wake() to check that uap->id is valid before you
commit this patch. Something like this would be safer but slower:

	struct thread *td1;

	PROC_LOCK(td->td_proc);
	FOREACH_THREAD_IN_PROC(td->td_proc, td1)
		if (td1 == (struct thread *)uap->id)
			break;
	if (td1 == NULL) {
		PROC_UNLOCK(td->td_proc);
		return (ESRCH);
	}
	td1->td_lthrflags |= LTF_THRWAKEUP;
	wakeup_one(td1);
	PROC_UNLOCK(td->td_proc);
	return (0);

(I'm not sure that it's safe to call wakeup_one() on a thread pointer
that isn't curthread without holding the proc lock, so I changed that too.)
