Currently the allocation strategy is SUPER simple.  A Timer is associated

Ahh, so we can now assign an element to a thread via StaticThreadSched even
if that element does not have a Task? E.g.

fd::FromDevice(eth0) -> t::SomeElementWithTimerOrSelectFDs -> Discard;
StaticThreadSched(fd 0, t, 1);

Or if we wanted all Timers and file descriptors on thread 0 something like
this:

fd::FromDevice(eth0) -> t::SomeElementWithTimerOrSelectFDs -> Discard;
StaticThreadSched(fd 1);

Is this correct?
