/************************************************************************************
 * This structure defines a generic, single reader, multiple writers
 * remote FIFO, that is used by the RPCs for inter cluster communications.
 * The accesses are implemented using a lock-free algorithm, as it uses a ticket 
 * based mechanism to handle concurrent access between multiple writers.
 * Each FIF0 slot can contain one 64 bits integer.
 * In case of FIFO full, the writer deschedule without blocking, to retry later.
 *
 * WARNING : the number of slots is statically defined by the global 
 * configuration parameter CONFIG_REMOTE_FIFO_SLOTS for all fifos, requiring
 * 12 * CONFIG_REMOTE_FIFO_SLOTS bytes for each FIFO.
