 This file contains the Non Preemptive Protocol (NPP)

 Title:
   NPP (Non Preemptive Protocol)

 Resource Models Accepted:
   None

 Description:
   This module implement the Non Preemptive Protocol.
   When a task aquire a critical section, it become non-preemptable.

   A NPP mutex is created passing the NPP_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 NPP mutexes.
   - if a task uses a NPP mutex, it can use only this type of mutex.
   - 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 error is returned
   - A NPP 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 = <NPP resource level>; opt = NULL;
     for example, if the NPP module is registered at level 1, the macro is
     like:
     #define MUTEX_INITIALIZER {1,(void *)NULL}
