/**
 * @brief Microkernel command packet library
 *
 * A command packet is an opaque data structure that maps to a k_args without
 * exposing its innards. It allows a subsystem, like a driver, that needs its
 * fibers or ISRs to communicate with tasks to define a set of such packets to
 * be passed to the isr_xxx routines, such as isr_sem_give(), that, in turn,
 * needs to obtain command packets to interact with the microkernel.
 *
 * Each command packet set is created in global memory using ...
 *   CMD_PKT_SET_INSTANCE(set variable name, # of command packets in the set);
 *
 * Once created, the command packet set is referenced as an ordinary structured
 * variable.

 * A command packet set is a simple ring buffer.  No error checking is performed
 * when a command packet is retrieved from the set.  Each obtained command packet
 * is implicitly released once the command packet has been processed.  Thus, it is
 * important that each command packet be processed in a near-FIFO order to prevent
 * corruption of command packets that are already in use.  To this end, drivers
 * that have an ISR component should use their own command packet set.
