/**
 * Asynchronous library
 *
 * The aim of this library is facilitating writing programs utilizing 
 * the asynchronous nature of Helenos IPC, yet using a normal way
 * of programming. 
 *
 * You should be able to write very simple multithreaded programs, 
 * the async framework will automatically take care of most synchronization
 * problems.
 *
 * Default semantics:
 * - send() - send asynchronously. If the kernel refuses to send more
 *            messages, [ try to get responses from kernel, if nothing
 *            found, might try synchronous ]
 *
 * Example of use:
 * 
 * 1) Multithreaded client application
 *  create_thread(thread1);
 *  create_thread(thread2);
 *  ...
 *  
 *  thread1() {
 *        conn = ipc_connect_me_to();
 *        c1 = send(conn);
 *        c2 = send(conn);
 *        wait_for(c1);
 *        wait_for(c2);
 *  }
 *
 *
 * 2) Multithreaded server application
 * main() {
 *      async_manager();
 * }
 * 
 *
 * client_connection(icallid, *icall) {
 *       if (want_refuse) {
 *           ipc_answer_fast(icallid, ELIMIT, 0, 0);
 *           return;
 *       }
 *       ipc_answer_fast(icallid, 0, 0, 0);
 *
 *       callid = async_get_call(&call);
 *       handle(callid, call);
 *       ipc_answer_fast(callid, 1,2,3);
 *
 *       callid = async_get_call(&call);
 *       ....
 * }
 *
