/**
 * Mark the start of a critical section
 *
 * This function will be called by core_util_critical_section_enter() each time
 * the application requests to enter a critical section. The purpose of the
 * critical section is to ensure mutual-exclusion synchronisation of the
 * processor by preventing any change in processor control, the default
 * behaviour requires storing the state of interrupts in the system before
 * disabling them.
 *
 * The critical section code supports nesting. When a thread has entered a
 * critical section it can make additional calls to
 * core_util_critical_section_enter() without deadlocking itself. The critical
 * section driver API tracks the number of nested calls to the critical section.
 * The critical section will only be exited when
 * core_util_critical_section_exit() has been called once for each time it
 * entered the critical section.
 *
 * On the first call to enter a critical section this function MUST store the
 * state of any interrupts or other application settings it will modify to
 * facilitate the critical section.
 *
 * Each successive call to enter the critical section MUST ignore storing or
 * modifying any application state.
 *
 * The default implementation of this function which will save the current state
 * of interrupts before disabling them. This implementation can be found in
 * mbed_critical_section_api.c. This behaviour is can be overridden on a per
 * platform basis by providing a different implementation within the correct
 * targets directory.

/** Mark the end of a critical section.
 *
 * The purpose of this function is to restore any state that was modified upon
 * entering the critical section, allowing other threads or interrupts to change
 * the processor control.
 *
 * This function will be called once by core_util_critical_section_exit() per
 * critical section on last call to exit. When called, the application MUST
 * restore the saved interrupt/application state that was saved when entering
 * the critical section.
 *
 * There is a default implementation of this function, it will restore the state
 * of interrupts that were previously saved when hal_critical_section_enter was
 * first called, this implementation can be found in
 * mbed_critical_section_api.c. This behaviour is overridable by providing a
 * different function implementation within the correct targets directory.

/** Determine if the application is currently running in a critical section
 *
 * The purpose of this function is to inform the caller whether or not the
 * application is running in a critical section. This is done by checking if
 * the current interrupt state has been saved in the underlying implementation,
 * this could also be done by checking the state of the interrupts at the time
 * of calling.
 *
 *  @return  True if running in a critical section, false if not.
