 * @brief Priority Handler
 *
 * This handler encapsulates functionality which is used to manage thread
 * priorities.  The actual priority of a thread is an aggregation of priority
 * nodes.  The thread priority aggregation for the home scheduler instance of a
 * thread consists of at least one priority node, which is normally the real
 * priority of the thread.  The locking protocols (e.g. priority ceiling and
 * priority inheritance), rate-monotonic period objects and the POSIX sporadic
 * server add, change and remove priority nodes.

/**
 * @brief The thread priority control.
 *
 * Lower values represent higher priorities.  So, a priority value of zero
 * represents the highest priority thread.  This value is reserved for internal
 * threads and the priority ceiling protocol.
 *
 * The format of the thread priority control depends on the context.  A thread
 * priority control may contain a user visible priority for API import/export.
 * It may also contain a scheduler internal priority value.  Values are
 * translated via the scheduler map/unmap priority operations.  The format of
 * scheduler interal values depend on the particular scheduler implementation.
 * It may for example encode a deadline in case of the EDF scheduler.
 *
 * The thread priority control value contained in the scheduler node
 * (Scheduler_Node::Priority::value) uses the least-significant bit to indicate
 * if the thread should be appended or prepended to its priority group, see
 * SCHEDULER_PRIORITY_APPEND().
