 * Name: work_hpthread
 *
 * Description:
 *   This is the worker thread that performs the actions placed on the high
 *   priority work queue.
 *
 *   This, along with the lower priority worker thread(s) are the kernel
 *   mode work queues (also build in the flat build).  One of these threads
 *   also performs periodic garbage collection (that would otherwise be
 *   performed by the idle thread if CONFIG_SCHED_WORKQUEUE is not defined).
 *   That will be the higher priority worker thread only if a lower priority
 *   worker thread is available.
 *
 *   All kernel mode worker threads are started by the OS during normal
 *   bring up.  This entry point is referenced by OS internally and should
 *   not be accessed by application logic.
 *
 * Input parameters:
 *   argc, argv (not used)
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   Does not return
 *
