/*
* \brief NOVA-specific signal-source client interface
* \author Norman Feske
* \date 2010-02-03
*
* On NOVA, the signal source server does not provide a blocking
* 'wait_for_signal' function because this kernel does no support
* out-of-order IPC replies. Instead, we use a shared semaphore
* to let the client block until a signal is present at the
* server. The shared semaphore gets initialized with the first
* call of 'wait_for_signal()'.
