Sorry if I was not specific. My main point was that
we'll need to specify a set of rules for the layer 1
API. Some of the rules will have to be concerned with
how the layer 1 is expected (in terms of threads) to
callback layer 2 functions.  I think that there are 2
options (see above) on how it can be specified.
