The same problem applies to coroutine stacks, and those cannot be
throttled down as easily.  But I guess if you limit the number of
threads, the guest gets slowed down and doesn't create as many coroutines.

It would be nice to have a way to measure coroutine stack usage, similar
to what the kernel does.
