As subject says,

I need to suspend threads (for locking purpose) but I do not want to use 
Posix threads library (pthread). Neither do I want to access __KERNEL__ 
protected parts of the kernel API.

There must be a user accesible API for this. The nearest Ive found is 
sched_yield( ), but it just moves a thread (process) to the end of 
run-queue.
