   8 * Simple token based thrashing protection, using the algorithm
   9 * described in: http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/hpcs/WWW/HTML/publications/abs05-1.html

  12 * Improved algorithm to pass token:
  13 * Each task has a priority which is incremented if it contended
  14 * for the token in an interval less than its previous attempt.
  15 * If the token is acquired, that task's priority is boosted to prevent
  16 * the token from bouncing around too often and to let the task make
  17 * some progress in its execution.
