 * 1) if asserted on the way in it indicates that the default
 * values should be returned, not the ones currently set, in
 * this case 'get_default' will always be asserted on return;
 * 2) if unasserted on the way in, the current settings are
 * desired and if still unasserted on return, then the info
 * returned reflects the current settings, otherwise if
 * 'get_default' returns asserted, it means that there are no
 * current settings due to other parameters taking precedence,
 * and the default ones are being returned instead.

 * Parameters:

 * period: This is the nominal amount of time between separate

 * value of 0 indicates that there is no inherent periodicity in
 * the computation.
 *
 * computation: This is the nominal amount of computation
 * time needed during a separate processing arrival, specified
 * in absolute time units.  The thread may be preempted after
 * the computation time has elapsed.
 * If (computation < constraint/2) it will be forced to
 * constraint/2 to avoid unintended preemption and associated
 * timer interrupts.
 *
 * constraint: This is the maximum amount of real time that
 * may elapse from the start of a separate processing arrival
 * to the end of computation for logically correct functioning,
 * specified in absolute time units.  Must be (>= computation).
 * Note that latency = (constraint - computation).
 *
 * preemptible: IGNORED (This indicates that the computation may be
 * interrupted, subject to the constraint specified above.)
