//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//  I/O BLOCK_DEVICE
// The three functions below use the three variables _ioc_lock _ioc_done, 
// and _ioc_status for synchronsation.
// - As the IOC component can be used by several programs running in parallel,
// the _ioc_lock variable guaranties exclusive access to the device.
// The _ioc_read() and _ioc_write() functions use atomic LL/SC to get the lock.
// and set _ioc_lock to a non zero value. 
// The _ioc_write() and _ioc_read() functions are blocking, polling the _ioc_lock
// variable until the device is available.
// - When the tranfer is completed, the ISR routine activated by the IOC IRQ
// set the _ioc_done variable to a non-zero value. Possible address errors detected
// by the IOC peripheral are reported by the ISR in the _ioc_status variable.
// The _ioc_completed() function is polling the _ioc_done variable, waiting for
// tranfer conpletion. When the completion is signaled, the _ioc_completed() function
// reset the _ioc_done variable to zero, and releases the _ioc_lock variable.
// 
// In a multi-tasks environment, this polling policy must be replaced by a
// descheduling policy for the requesting process. 
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//  _ioc_get_lock()
// This blocking function is used by the _ioc_read() and _ioc_write() functions 
// to get _ioc_lock using LL/SC.
