 * The task's notification value is set to the value of ulValue, even if the
 * task being notified had not yet processed the previous notification (the
 * task already had a notification pending).  xTaskNotify() always returns
 * pdPASS in this case.
 *
 * eSetValueWithoutOverwrite -
 * If the task being notified did not already have a notification pending then
 * the task's notification value is set to ulValue and xTaskNotify() will
 * return pdPASS.  If the task being notified already had a notification
 * pending then no action is performed and pdFAIL is returned.
 *

 * Wait for task notification
 *
 * configUSE_TASK_NOTIFICATIONS must be undefined or defined as 1 for this
 * function to be available.
 *
 * When configUSE_TASK_NOTIFICATIONS is set to one each task has its own private
 * "notification value", which is a 32-bit unsigned integer (uint32_t).
 *
 * Events can be sent to a task using an intermediary object.  Examples of such
 * objects are queues, semaphores, mutexes and event groups.  Task notifications
 * are a method of sending an event directly to a task without the need for such
 * an intermediary object.
 *
 * A notification sent to a task can optionally perform an action, such as
 * update, overwrite or increment the task's notification value.  In that way
 * task notifications can be used to send data to a task, or be used as light
 * weight and fast binary or counting semaphores.
 *
 * A notification sent to a task will remain pending until it is cleared by the
 * task calling xTaskNotifyWait() or ulTaskNotifyTake().  If the task was
 * already in the Blocked state to wait for a notification when the notification
 * arrives then the task will automatically be removed from the Blocked state
 * (unblocked) and the notification cleared.
 *
 * A task can use xTaskNotifyWait() to [optionally] block to wait for a
 * notification to be pending, or ulTaskNotifyTake() to [optionally] block
 * to wait for its notification value to have a non-zero value.  The task does
 * not consume any CPU time while it is in the Blocked state.
 *
 * See http://www.FreeRTOS.org/RTOS-task-notifications.html for details.
 *
 * @param ulBitsToClearOnEntry Bits that are set in ulBitsToClearOnEntry value
 * will be cleared in the calling task's notification value before the task
 * checks to see if any notifications are pending, and optionally blocks if no
 * notifications are pending.  Setting ulBitsToClearOnEntry to ULONG_MAX (if
 * limits.h is included) or 0xffffffffUL (if limits.h is not included) will have
 * the effect of resetting the task's notification value to 0.  Setting
 * ulBitsToClearOnEntry to 0 will leave the task's notification value unchanged.
 *
 * @param ulBitsToClearOnExit If a notification is pending or received before
 * the calling task exits the xTaskNotifyWait() function then the task's
 * notification value (see the xTaskNotify() API function) is passed out using
 * the pulNotificationValue parameter.  Then any bits that are set in
 * ulBitsToClearOnExit will be cleared in the task's notification value (note
 * *pulNotificationValue is set before any bits are cleared).  Setting
 * ulBitsToClearOnExit to ULONG_MAX (if limits.h is included) or 0xffffffffUL
 * (if limits.h is not included) will have the effect of resetting the task's
 * notification value to 0 before the function exits.  Setting
 * ulBitsToClearOnExit to 0 will leave the task's notification value unchanged
 * when the function exits (in which case the value passed out in
 * pulNotificationValue will match the task's notification value).
 *
 * @param pulNotificationValue Used to pass the task's notification value out
 * of the function.  Note the value passed out will not be effected by the
 * clearing of any bits caused by ulBitsToClearOnExit being non-zero.
 *

 * the Blocked state for a notification to be received, should a notification
 * not already be pending when xTaskNotifyWait() was called.  The task
 * will not consume any processing time while it is in the Blocked state.  This
