/*
 * This CPU meter works like this.
 * It creates a thread with the minimum priority that is (almost) always active
 * Since the Miosix priority scheduler always runs the thread with the highest
 * priority, every time other threads (or interrupts) have work to do, they
 * preempt this thread. By measuring the amount of actual time this thread
 * takes to perform a busy wait delay it is possible to compute an average CPU
 * utilization.
 *
 * The advantage of this technique is that it can account for the CPU time
 * of everything, including interrupts and task context switch overhead.
 * The disadvantage is that by being (almost) always running it prevents the
 * idle thread from running and thus it prevents the CPU from going into deep
 * sleep.
 *
 * NOTE: For this to work, no other thread with the lowest priority has to be
 * created, otherwise its time will not be accounted.
