and 'process_timeout':

process_timeout() needs wake_up_process(), which is currently also not
in pfinet. wake_up_process() then needs add_to_runqueue(), which
e.g. uses the variable 'nr_running', which we only declare but don't
initialize. There's simply much from the Linux scheduling environment,
which is needed here, not available in pfinet. I guess, it would be
easier to implement the needed functionality 'native' than hacking
more and more from Linux scheduling/task managing into pfinet(?).
