10 * A Capability holds all the state an OS thread/task needs to run
11 * Haskell code: its STG registers, a pointer to its TSO, a nursery
12 * etc. During STG execution, a pointer to the Capabilitity is kept in
13 * a register (BaseReg).
15 * Only in a THREADED_RTS build will there be multiple capabilities,
16 * in the non-threaded RTS there is one global capability, called
