/******************************************************************************************n
 * This structure defines a kernel, local, read/write lock, supporting several simultaneous
 * read accesses, but only one write access to a given locally shared object in a cluster.
 * Both readers and writers take the associated busylock before accessing or updating
 * the rwlock state, and releases the busylock after rwlock state update.
 * - when a reader try to access the object, it increments the readers "count" when the 
 *   lock is not "taken" by a writer. It registers in the "rd_root" waiting queue, blocks,
 *   and deschedules when the lock is taken.
 * - when a writer try to take the rwlock, it check the "taken" field. If the lock is already
 *   taken, or if the number of readers is non zero, it registers in the "wr_root" waiting
 *   queue, blocks, and deschedules. It set "taken" otherwise.
 * - when a reader completes its access, it decrement the readers "count", unblock the
 *   the first waiting writer if there is no other readers, and unblock all waiting
 *   readers if there no write request.
 * - when a  writer completes its access, it reset the "taken" field, releases the first
 *   waiting writer if queue non empty, or releases all waiting readers if no writer.
