/*****************************************************************************************
 *          This file defines a POSIX compliant condvar.
 *
 * It is used by multi-threaded applications to synchronise threads running in
 * different clusters, as all access functions uses hal_remote_lw() / hal_remote_sw()
 * portable remote access primitives.
 *
 * A condvar is declared by a given user process as a "pthread_cond_t" global variable.
 * This user type is implemented as an unsigned long, but the value is not used by the 
 * kernel. ALMOS-MKH uses only the condvar virtual address as an identifier.
 * For each user condvar, ALMOS-MKH creates a kernel "remote_condvar_t" structure,
 * dynamically allocated in the reference cluster by the remote_condvar_create() function, 
 * and destroyed by the remote_condvar_destroy() function, using RPC if the calling 
 * thread is not running in the reference cluster. The synchronisation is done by the
 * remote_condvar_wait(), remote_condvar_signal(), remote_convar_broadcast() functions.

/*****************************************************************************************
 * This structure defines the condvar descriptor.
 * - It contains an xlist of all condvars dynamically created by a given process,
 *   rooted in the reference process descriptor.
 * - It contains also the root of another xlist of all threads waiting on the condvar,
 *   resumed by a remote_condvar_signal(), or remote_condvar_broadcast().
