which include object types such as semaphores, events, and mutexes,
are now referred to as "synchronization services". This term more
clearly conveys their use as a means to synchronize the operation
of two or more entities within the kernel.

Previous names, focusing on 'async', were misleading, because:
- some of those APIs can be used synchronously as well
- other APIs can also do asynchronous transfer, and don't have 'async'
in their names
- the key concept of these APIs is that they use memory pool blocks
rather than raw data buffers.
