I'm not sure to understand what you mean. When thread_sleep blocks,
it calls thread_block, which calls thread_invoke, which calls
switch_context, which does the low-level part.
In the case of continuations (i.e. there is no context to return to, the
thread just needs to call a function again), stack_handoff is called
instead to just switch stacks.

You are supposed to set the value of kernel_stack in stack_attach. That
will get called by thread_invoke when the new thread is scheduled for
the first time (see the "Check that the thread is swapped-in." part
which calls stack_alloc_try(), which calls stack_attach to attached the
allocated stack).
