  * SOS Definition of a process and associated management API. A
  * process is basically the collection of all the resources requested
  * by a user program. The threads are one of these resources, the
  * mm_context is one other example of such resources.  In SOS, a
  * "process" is mainly a resource manager, a container. It does not
  * provide much advanced functionality apart from a reference counter.
  *
  * Only the user threads belong to a process. The kernel
  * threads don't because the resources they hold are held by the whole
  * kernel, thus by ALL the threads (kernel AND user): the notion of
  * "process" doesn't have any meaning for them because they don't own
  * any proper resource (apart from their stack).
