Have you looked at Lanes?

http://luaforge.net/projects/lanes/
http://kotisivu.dnainternet.net/askok/bin/lanes/

It is a loadable module that provides Lua state separation, message  
passing, shared table storage etc. It is not using coroutines for  
this, but individual Lua states run on OS threads.
