 *   Aug 27, 2011   created (A. Welzel)
 *
 * The entry points into this file are:
 *   blockdriver_mt_task:	the main message loop of the driver
 *   blockdriver_mt_terminate:	break out of the main message loop
 *   blockdriver_mt_sleep:	put the current thread to sleep
 *   blockdriver_mt_wakeup:	wake up a sleeping thread
 *   blockdriver_mt_set_workers:set the number of worker threads
