* Simple token based thrashing protection, using the algorithm
* described in: http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/hpcs/WWW/HTML/publications/abs05-1.html
*
* Sep 2006, Ashwin Chaugule <ashwin.chaugule@celunite.com>
* Improved algorithm to pass token:
* Each task has a priority which is incremented if it contended
* for the token in an interval less than its previous attempt.
* If the token is acquired, that task's priority is boosted to prevent
* the token from bouncing around too often and to let the task make
* some progress in its execution.

* of priority aging are
* 1) An aging interval is reasonable enough long. Too short aging
* interval makes quick swap token lost and decrease performance.
