This points to a design objective difference between RTAI, as I understand
it, and RTL. To put QNX primitives into RTL you need to either layer on top
of the standard scheduler objects or rewrite the standard scheduler objects.
In RTL, we are not willing to make semaphores or semaphore overhead a
mandatory part of the kernel.

Re your earlier arcnet question. Why is the "dual ported memory" in this
fixed location? Is that a hardware requirement or is it a dos legacy?
