 * This code is deliberately kept separate from the main industrialio I/O core
 * as it is intended that in the future a number of different software ring
 * buffer implementations will exist with different characteristics to suit
 * different applications.
 *
 * This particular one was designed for a data capture application where it was
 * particularly important that no userspace reads would interrupt the capture
 * process. To this end the ring is not locked during a read.
 *
 * Comments on this buffer design welcomed. It's far from efficient and some of
 * my understanding of the effects of scheduling on this are somewhat limited.
 * Frankly, to my mind, this is the current weak point in the industrial I/O
 * patch set.
