[ I've switched to the different mail system recently, you could update
you blacklist filter, or we can bury the war axe: ipw2100 still does not
work with power tricks :) ]

One can schedule execution on given thread in the pool (actually on
given set of threads, which have the same private pointer), if needed
threads are busy, caller will sleep, if there are no such threads,
execution fails. Although I'm not quite sure this is exactly what you
asked for.
