* Name: nxtask_create
*
* Description:
* This function creates and activates a new user task with a specified
* priority and returns its system-assigned ID.
*
* The entry address entry is the address of the "main" function of the
* task. This function will be called once the C environment has been
* set up. The specified function will be called with four arguments.
* Should the specified routine return, a call to exit() will
* automatically be made.
*
* Note that four (and only four) arguments must be passed for the spawned
* functions.
*
* nxtask_create() is identical to the function task_create(), differing
* only in its return value: This function does not modify the errno
* variable. This is a non-standard, internal OS function and is not
* intended for use by application logic. Applications should use
* task_create().
*
* 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
* 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
* kernel-mode privileges. It is identical to task_create() except
* 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
* insufficient or the task cannot be created -ENOMEM will be returned.

/****************************************************************************
* Name: kthread_delete
*
* Description:
* This function will terminate a kernel thread. At present, this
* function is equivalent to task_delete.c; the following definition
* simply reserves the name in the name space.
*
* Refer to comments with task_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 ERROR on failure with the errno variable set
* appropriately.
