SMP Support in RTEMS

'''Status:''' Ongoing.

'''Introduction:''' TODO: Introduce the main concepts around the project: Theoretical preliminaries, preexisting RTEMS capabilities used or augmented (if any), important concepts, problems/needs the project will try to solve/satisfy.

'''Goal:''' TODO: Concise statement of the overall goal of the project. Refine this initial statement to include: project deliverables (code, docs, testing), required/suggested methodology, standards of quality, possible goal extensions beyond the main objective.

'''Requirements:''' TODO: List the requirements and level of expertise you estimate are required by the developer tackling this project will have to have: Required level of programming language(s), specific areas of RTEMS or tools, level of familiarity with RTEMS, cross-development, GNU/Linux, etx., development/documentation/testing tools, mathematical/algorithmic background, other desirable skills. 

'''Resources:''' TODO: Current RTEMS developers, papers, etc that may help you in this project.

= Subtasks =


 *  Provide common names for various bsp_delay() routines.  Currently not all BSPs have even a default crude, inaccurate implementation.  Those that do have an implementation, do not have consistent names or time units. 

 *  Move [wiki:DeferredMemoryManagement_  deferred memory free] support to Heap from Malloc.  This will eliminate a potential race condition when deleting self on one CPU and creating a new thread on another CPU.

 *  Add test for SMP timeslicing - Needed to ensure SMP timeslicing correctness.

 *  Add processor affinity - Need to define API and implement.
