I believe Windows has an equivalent mechanism though I haven't done any

Windows does have kernel-mode threads, but in Windows a "thread" and a
"process" are very different things. In Linux, the line between those two
concepts is rather fuzzy.

A kernel-mode thread in Windows actually belongs to the system process,
which is just like every other process.
