Hi Robert, This isn't my thing but my flatmate had left a copy of solaris internals on the table ;)
This is briefly mentioned around about page 384 and appears to be targetted at userspace processes for exactly the cases you're suggesting (holding global resources).
A good entry point into the sun online documentation for this stuff is schedctl_init() - http://docs.sun.com/db?q=schedctl_init&p=/doc/816-0216/6m6ngupm0&a=view
