In case we want this API, it should be pretty easy to hide a
clone(2)-based API behind the fncall_send/recv functions. My
only worry is that I don't know I get the memory barriers to
work correctly across all Linux platforms. Not doing that
correctly might introduce subtle bugs on true multiprocessor
machines.
