Masayuki Ishikawa has suggested the use of the GICv2 ICCMPR
register to control SGI interrupts. This register (much like
the ARMv7-M BASEPRI register) can be used to mask interrupts
by interrupt priority. Since SGIs may be assigned priorities

is used (otherwise, tasks will pend must as when pre-

A proper solution would probably involve re-designing how
CPU affinity is implemented. The CPU1 IDLE thread should
more appropriately run, but cannot because the Task C TCB
is in the g_assignedtasks[] list.

Priority: Unknown. Might be high, but first we would need to confirm
that this situation can occur and that is actually causes
