SUMMARY
The VMMcall _BlockOnID function accommodates the Block_Thread_Idle Flags
option. If Block_Thread_Idle is set, VMM considers the thread to be "idle"
if it blocks. A VxD can use this option to improve overall system
performance.
The Windows 95 DDK inadvertently omitted this _BlockOnID option.
