 This file contains the Priority Inheritance (PI) Protocol

 Title:
   PI (Priority Inheritance protocol)

 Resource Models Accepted:
   None

 Description:
   This module implement the Priority Inheritance Protocol.
   The priority inheritance is made using the shadow field of the
   task descriptor. No difference is made upon the task model of the
   tasks that use PI mutexes.

   A PI mutex is created passing the PI_mutexattr structure to mutex_init.

 Exceptions raised:
   XMUTEX_OWNER_KILLED
     This exception is raised when a task ends and it owns one or more
     mutexes

 Restrictions & special features:
   - This module is NOT Posix compliant
   - This module can manage any number of PI mutexes.
   - If a task ends (because it reaches the end of the body or because it
     is killed by someone) and it owns some mutex, an exception is raised.
   - if a mutex unlock is called on a mutex not previously
     locked or previously locked by another task an exception is raised
   - A PI mutex can be statically allocated. To do this, the init function
     have to define a macro that puts this information in the mutex
     descriptor: mutexlevel = <PI resource level>; opt = NULL;
     for example, if the PI module is registered at level 1, the macro is
     like:
     #define MUTEX_INITIALIZER {1,NULL}
