Possible suggestion for removing the GIL

[Prateek]

Hi,

Recently there was some talk on removing the GIL and even the BDFL has
written a blog post on it.
I was trying to come up with a scalable and backwards compatible
approach for how to do it.

I've put my thoughts up in a blog post - and I'd really like to hear
what the community thinks of it.
Mainly it revolves around dedicating one core for executing
synchronized code and doing context switches instead of acquiring/
releasing locks.
