03d2a4fcbc Doc: Moves and renames files into the new file structure.
The collaboration content files have been placed in three folders. One
for communication, one for code collaboration and one for documentation
collaboration. This change only moves and renames the files. The
cross-references and file paths within the files have NOT ben change.
That is comming on the next change.

61fa627f74 doc: Terminology change - signalling -> synchronization
The kernel's services previously referred to as "signalling services",
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.

46c5f12a1f doc: Overhaul of Zephyr Kernel Primer overview section
A complete rewrite of the Overview section. The revised text
provides a more logical and comprehensive introduction to the
main concepts and capabilities of Zephyr, without providing
an excessive level of detail. (Those details should be provided
by the remaining sections of the Kernel Primer.)

This rewrite has also resulted in some small changes to the
About Zephyr and other Kernel Primer sections.

c1f9fd888d irq: make utility functions private
irq_handler_set, irq_priority_set and irq_disconnect have been made
private by prepending an underscore to their names:

	irq_handler_set -> irq_handler_set
	irq_priority_set -> irq_priority_set
	irq_disconnect -> irq_disconnect

The prototypes have been removed from header files when possible, and
extern statements used in C code where they were called.

_irq_priority_set() for ARM is still in the header file because
IRQ_CONFIG() relies on it.

87564a4602 pipes/mailboxes: rename functions using mem blocks
task_pipe_put_async -> task_pipe_block_put

  task_mbox_put_async -> task_mbox_block_put

  task_mbox_data_get_async_block -> task_mbox_data_block_get
  task_mbox_data_get_async_block_wait -> task_mbox_data_block_get_wait
  task_mbox_data_get_async_block_wait_timeout ->
       task_mbox_data_block_get_wait_timeout

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.

fa2e040198 doc: Enhance usability of top-level documentation page
Regroups documents into 3 sets::

1) Documents needed when first encountering Zephyr. (Basically what
   you need to decide if you're interested in Zephyr, what it can do
   for you, and how to get the code so you can experiment with it.)

2) Documents used when developing new Zephyr software.

3) Reference documents for Zephyr. (Having these on the main page
   instead of a sub-page make sense, since the API guide and
   configuration option guide will be consulted frequently by users.)

0abe07a0cd microkernel: introduce support for private memory maps
This enable defining memory maps in source code in addition to
defining in MDEF files. This introduces the macro
DEFINE_MEM_MAP(mem_map_name, ...). The memory maps created this
way are the same, in functionality, as those defined in MDEF
files. They can be manipulated by the standard microkernel
memory map APIs.

Define the memory map using:

  DEFINE_MEM_MAP(mem_map1, blocks, block_size);

and "mem_map1" can be used, for example:

  task_mem_map_alloc(mem_map1, ...);

or,

  task_mem_map_free(mem_map1, ...);

etc.

To use the memory map defined in another source file, simply add:

extern const kmemory_map_t mem_map1;

to the desired C or header file.
