IIUC, this code will never return to cJK. It will return to what-ever address is in R1; jumping to 'returnToSched' with the value in R1 says, "Please run the scheduler, and jump back to R1 when you're done and ready to run my thread again."

Excerpts from Jan Stolarek's message of Mon Aug 05 08:08:43 -0700 2013:
I have a question about this piece of Cmm code:
cJI: R1 = _sGG::P32; call (stg_gc_enter_1)(R1) args: 4, res: 0, upd: 4; cJK: ...
Does the call to stg_gc_enter_1 return to cJK: a) never; b) sometimes; c) always ? I'm looking at the implementation in rts/HeapStackCheck.cmm but I don't know the meaning of `jump stg_returnToSched [R1];` at the and of stg_gc_noregs. Any help will be appreciated.
