I wanted to comment on this before. I've no objection at trying to
remove duplicated code as far as possible, but when changing system
interfaces (Uxxx.is), please make sure that they really work on the
target platform in question; if possible, add some tests.

I was not aware that user threads are broken; why?
Anyway, this code should not be removed; I was rather hoping for a
compile-time option to switch between user and system threads in cm3.
