 * This structure defines a generic, single writer, single reader, inter-processes
 * communication channel, used to implement both the POSIX named fifos, and the POSIX
 * anonymous pipes.
 *
 * It uses the (lower level) remote_buf_t object and access functions, and can be
 * allocated in any cluster, and accessed by threads running in any cluster.
 * The default buffer size is defined by the CONFIG_PIPE_BUF_SIZE parameter.
 * It it accessed by the user processes through the POSIX read/write syscalls, that call
 * the pipe_move_user() to move data between the kernel remote buf and the user buffer.
 * These access functions are blocking when the kernel buffer is full (for a write),
 * or empty (for a read), and use a desheduling policy, blocking on THREAD_ BLOCKED_IO.
