 * Capabilities
 *
 * A Capability represent the token required to execute STG code,
 * and all the state an OS thread/task needs to run Haskell code:
 * its STG registers, a pointer to its TSO, a nursery etc. During
 * STG execution, a pointer to the capabilitity is kept in a
 * register (BaseReg; actually it is a pointer to cap->r).
 *
 * Only in an THREADED_RTS build will there be multiple capabilities,
 * for non-threaded builds there is only one global capability, namely
 * MainCapability.
