 * Name: thread_create
 *
 * Description:
 *   This function creates and activates a new thread of the specified type
 *   with a specified priority and returns its system-assigned ID.  It is the
 *   internal, commn implementation of task_create() and kernel_thread().
 *   See comments with task_create() for further information.
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *   name       - Name of the new task
 *   ttype      - Type 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. Up to
 *                CONFIG_MAX_TASK_ARG parameters may be provided.  If fewer
 *                than CONFIG_MAX_TASK_ARG parameters are passed, the list
 *                should be terminated with a NULL argv[] value. If no
 *                parameters are required, argv may be NULL.
 *
 * Return Value:
 *   Returns the non-zero process ID of the new task or ERROR if memory is
 *   insufficient or the task cannot be created.  The errno will be set to
 *   indicate the nature of the error (always ENOMEM).

 *   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.
 *
 * 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. Up to
 *                CONFIG_MAX_TASK_ARG parameters may be provided.  If fewer
 *                than CONFIG_MAX_TASK_ARG parameters are passed, the list
 *                should be terminated with a NULL argv[] value. If no
 *                parameters are required, argv may be NULL.
 *
 * Return Value:
 *   Returns the non-zero process ID of the new task or ERROR if memory is
 *   insufficient or the task cannot be created.  The errno will be set to
 *   indicate the nature of the error (always ENOMEM).

 * Name: kernel_thread

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

 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *   (same as task_create())
 *
 * Return Value:
 *   (same as task_create())
