00019  * Core pod definitions. The core pod supports all APIs providing a
00020  * system call interface to user-space applications. Core APIs, namely
00021  * POSIX, native and RTDM, only use a sub-range of the available
00022  * priority levels of the core pod, in order to have them exhibit a
00023  * 1:1 mapping with Linux's SCHED_FIFO ascending priority
00024  * scale. Non-core APIs (e.g. VxWorks, VRTX) may also rely on the core
00025  * pod, provided they normalize the priority levels of their threads
00026  * when calling the nucleus, in order to match the priority scale
00027  * enforced by the former.
