/*
 * IPC design:
 *
 * There are three kinds of messages: async, sync, and intr. Sync and intr
 * messages are blocking. Only intr and high-priority sync messages can nest.
 *
 * Terminology: To dispatch a message Foo is to run the RecvFoo code for
 * it. This is also called "handling" the message.
 *
 * Sync messages have priorities while async and intr messages always have
 * normal priority. The three possible priorities are normal, high, and urgent.
 * The intended uses of these priorities are:
 *   NORMAL - most messages.
 *   HIGH   - CPOW-related messages, which can go in either direction.
 *   URGENT - messages where we don't want to dispatch
 *            incoming CPOWs while waiting for the response.
 *
 * To avoid jank, the parent process is not allowed to send sync messages of
 * normal priority. The parent also is not allowed to send urgent messages at
 * all.  When a process is waiting for a response to a sync message M0, it will
 * dispatch an incoming message M if:
 *   1. M has a higher priority than M0, or
 *   2. if M has the same priority as M0 and we're in the child, or
 *   3. if M has the same priority as M0 and it was sent by the other side
        while dispatching M0 (nesting).
 * The idea is that higher priority messages should take precendence, and we
 * also want to allow nesting. The purpose of rule 2 is to handle a race where
 * both processes send to each other simultaneously. In this case, we resolve
 * the race in favor of the parent (so the child dispatches first).
 *
 * Sync messages satisfy the following properties:
 *   A. When waiting for a response to a sync message, we won't dispatch any
 *      messages of lower priority.
 *   B. Sync messages of the same priority will be dispatched roughly in the
 *      order they were sent. The exception is when the parent and child send
 *      sync messages to each other simulataneously. In this case, the parent's
 *      message is dispatched first. While it is dispatched, the child may send
 *      further nested messages, and these messages may be dispatched before the
 *      child's original message. We can consider ordering to be preserved here
 *      because we pretend that the child's original message wasn't sent until
 *      after the parent's message is finished being dispatched.
 *
 * Intr messages are blocking but not prioritized. While waiting for an intr
 * response, all incoming messages are dispatched until a response is
 * received. Intr messages also can be nested. When two intr messages race with
 * each other, a similar scheme is used to ensure that one side wins. The
 * winning side is chosen based on the message type.
 *
 * Intr messages differ from sync messages in that, while sending an intr
 * message, we may dispatch an async message. This causes some additional
 * complexity. One issue is that replies can be received out of order. It's also
 * more difficult to determine whether one message is nested inside
 * another. Consequently, intr handling uses mOutOfTurnReplies and
 * mRemoteStackDepthGuess, which are not needed for sync messages.
