Description

The description for global vs local attributes on objects do not make it clear whether they apply to SMP or distributed multiprocessing configuration. This applies to at least the rtems_task_create description but likely needs to be addressed in the description in every create with global/local and in the SMP section.

In the rtems_task_create() description we have:

The task has a local or global scope in a multiprocessing network (this attribute does not refer to SMP systems). The scope is selected by the mutually exclusive RTEMS_LOCAL and RTEMS_GLOBAL attributes.

Maybe we should add local scope and global scope glossary terms. Maybe we should replace scope with something more specific.

In 32de9ff/rtems-docs:

c-user: Add Local vs Global to Key Concepts Chapter

Add multiple new index entries and cite them where RTEMS_LOCAL
and RTEMS_GLOBAL are cited.

Closes #4453.
