* Simple token based thrashing protection, using the algorithm
* described in: http://www.cs.wm.edu/~sjiang/token.pdf
*
* Sep 2006, Ashwin Chaugule <ashwin.chaugule@celunite.com>
* Improved algorithm to pass token:
* Each task has a priority which is incremented if it contended
* for the token in an interval less than its previous attempt.
* If the token is acquired, that task's priority is boosted to prevent
* the token from bouncing around too often and to let the task make
* some progress in its execution.
