* Name: kthread_create_with_stack
*
* Description:
* This function creates and activates a kernel thread task with
* kernel-mode privileges. It is identical to kthread_create() except
* that it get the stack memory from caller.
*
* Input Parameters:
* name - Name of the new task
* priority - Priority of the new task
* stack_addr - Stack buffer of the new task
* stack_size - Stack size of the new task
* entry - Entry point of a new task
* arg - A pointer to an array of input parameters. The array
* should be terminated with a NULL argv[] value. If no
* parameters are required, argv may be NULL.
*
* Returned Value:
* Returns the positive, non-zero process ID of the new task or a negated
* errno value to indicate the nature of any failure. If memory is
* insufficient or the task cannot be created -ENOMEM will be returned.

* Name: kthread_create
*
* Description:
* This function creates and activates a kernel thread task with

* that it configures the newly started thread to run in kernel model.
*
* Input Parameters:
* name - Name of the new task
* priority - Priority of the new task
* stack_size - size (in bytes) of the stack needed
* entry - Entry point of a new task
* arg - A pointer to an array of input parameters. The array
* should be terminated with a NULL argv[] value. If no
* parameters are required, argv may be NULL.
*
* Returned Value:
* Returns the positive, non-zero process ID of the new task or a negated
* errno value to indicate the nature of any failure. If memory is

* Name: kthread_delete
*
* Description:
* This function will terminate a kernel thread. At present, this

*
* Refer to comments with nxtask_delete() for a more detailed description
* of the operation of this function.
*
* Input Parameters:
* pid - The task ID of the task to delete. A pid of zero
* signifies the calling task.
*
* Returned Value:
* OK on success; or negated errno on failure.
