 * @brief   Reader/Writer locks.
 *
 * A reader/writer lock can be held by multiple readers at a time.
 * Or it can be exclusively held by a sole writer at a time.
 *
 * These locks are not recursive.
 * Because a technique called direct hand-off is used and because
 * waiting takes place in a single wait queue, neither readers
 * nor writers will suffer starvation.
 *
 * If there is a writer followed by a reader waiting for the rwlock
 * and the writer times out, all leading readers are automatically woken up
 * and allowed in.
 */
 
/*
 * NOTE ON rwlock_holder_type
 * This field is set on an attempt to acquire the exclusive mutex
 * to the respective value depending whether the caller is a reader
 * or a writer. The field is examined only if the thread had been
 * previously blocked on the exclusive mutex. Thus it is save
 * to store the rwlock type in the thread structure, because
 * each thread can block on only one rwlock at a time.
