   pragma Inline (Enter_Kernel);
   --  This procedure is executed to signal the access to kernel data. Its use
   --  protect the consistence of the kernel. Interrupts are disabled while
   --  kernel data is being accessed.

   procedure Leave_Kernel;
   --  Leave_Kernel must be called when the access to kernel data finishes.
   --  Interrupts are enable to the appropriate level (according to the active
   --  priority of the running thread).
