Keep track of the number for threads that jump into Haskell from C (via enterStablePtr()) - hack needed to support Conc. Haskell and stable pointers

+     * Combining Concurrent Haskell and stable pointers poses a headache or
+     * two. If the thread that jumps into Haskell causes a context switch,
+     * we're in deep trouble, as miniInterpret() is used to enter the threaded world,
+     * which stash away return address and callee-saves registers on the C
+     * stack and enter.
+     *
+     * If the thread should happen to context switch, the scheduler is 
+     * currently coded to use longjmp() to jump from the rescheduling
+     * code to the main scheduler loop. i.e., we unwind chunks of the
+     * C stack, including the return address++ the thread left there
+     * before entering the stable pointer.
+     * 
+     * Ideally, we would like to impose no restrictions on the use of
+     * stable pointers with Concurrent Haskell, but currently we 
+     * do turn off heap check context switching when a thread jumps into
+     * Haskell from C. This reduces the `risk' of a context switch, but
+     * doesn't solve the problem - a thread that blocks will still
+     * force a re-schedule. To cope with this situation, we use a counter
+     * to keep track of whether any threads have entered Haskell from C.
+     * If any have, we avoid longjmp()ing in the RTS to preserve the region
+     * of the C stack that the thread expects to be there when it exits.
+     * 
+     * This scheme is a hack (no, really!) to get Haskell callbacks to work
+     * with Concurrent Haskell. It is currently only supported for x86 platforms
+     * (due to use of asm to get at stack pointer in PerformIO.lhc)
+     *
+     * ToDo: do Right in the new RTS.
