That's expensive how? Abort-deferral is (or should be) just toggling a bit
in the TCB. Abort is expensive (it has to check whether the bit is set, be
able to be deferred, etc.), abort-deferral is not. (For Janus/Ada, if there
isn't any significant use of tasking in the program, even the bit-toggling
is left out.) Abort-deferral is too common to make it expensive!
