/********************************************************************************************n
 * This is the kernel representation of an user level, POSIX compliant unnamed semaphore.
 *
 * It can be used by muti-threaded user applications to synchronise user threads
 * running in different clusters.
 *
* A semaphore is declared by a given user process as a "sem_t" global variable.
 * The user "sem_t" structure is implemented as an unsigned long, but the value is not
 * used by the kernel. ALMOS-MKH uses only the sem_t virtual address as an identifier.
 * For each user semaphore, ALMOS-MKH creates a kernel "remote_sem_t" structure,
 * dynamically allocated in the reference cluster by the remote_sem_create() function, 
 * and destroyed by the remote_sem_destroy() function, using RPC if the calling thread is not
 * running in the reference cluster.
 *
 * The threads accessing the semaphore with the sem_get_value(), sem_wait(), sem_post()
 * syscalls can be running in any cluster, as these syscalls access the "remote_sem_t"
 * structure with remote_read / remote_write access functions.
