With sched_bind() you can only bind curthread. What you can do for your case
since you have 1 thread is to queue a task whose function does:
struct thread *td;
td = curthread;
thread_lock(td);
sched_bind(td, 1);
thread_unlock(td);
For a queue with multiple threads there isn't a good way to do that currently,
though you might can have a task function that does a bind and then blocks on
a condition variable after bumping up a counter, except that if the counter
hits N, you do a wakeup on the cv instead. This would ensure that N threads
run the tasks (i.e. no thread runs two of the bind tasks).
