/************************************************************************************
 * This structure defines a generic, single reader, multiple writers FIFO,
 * that is used for - RPC based - inter cluster communications.
 * Each FIF0 slot can contain one 64 bits integer (or one extended pointer).
 * The number of slots is defined by the CONFIG_REMOTE_FIFO_SLOTS parameter.
 * - The write accesses are implemented using a lock-free algorithm, as it uses
 *   a ticket based mechanism to handle concurrent access between multiple writers.
 *   In case of FIFO full, the writer deschedule without blocking, to retry later.
 * - The reader must take the try_lock implemented by the "owner" field, using
 *   an atomic_add(). The TRDID is a good owner identifier, because all
 *   RPC threads in a given cluster belong to the same kernel process,
 *   and RPC threads cannot have local index LTID = 0.
*
 * WARNING : Each FIFO requires 12 + (12 * CONFIG_REMOTE_FIFO_SLOTS) bytes.
