/** @class MessageHandler
 *  @brief Class which facilitiates bridging messages between kernel-space and
 *         user space.
 *
 *  This class provides a 'send message' interface to kernel code to send a
 *  message into user-space.  The message is a <type, key, data> tuple sent
 *  to the message queue associated with this object.  The expected response
 *  from userspace is a <type, key, rc> tuple.
 *
 *  The typical use-case of these interfaces is to send a <va, page> pair to a
 *  user-space resource provider to request a page of memory be read or written.
 *  A parameter to the 'send message' interface is an optional task which is to
 *  be deferred until the response is fully processed.
 *
 *  The 'send message' interface will attempt to combine duplicate messages
 *  by associating message requests with the same key and only sending a
 *  single message to user-space for the key (while that key is outstanding).
 *  This behavior aids the typical use-case of these interfaces by combining
 *  multiple tasks page-faulting on a single page into a single request to the
 *  resource provider.
 *
 *  When a response is received, via the user-space msg_respond system call,
 *  the 'recv message' interface will be called to handle the response.  This
 *  interface will trigger an overrideable 'handle response' interface for
 *  each outstanding <key, task> pair.  The default behavior is to resume the
 *  task on successful responses and kill the task on error responses.  This
 *  behavior can be changed by overriding the 'handle response' interface.
 *
 *  SMP safety:
 *     The constructor of this class requests the spinlock for the kernel
 *     subsystem associated with this message handling instance.  Since the
 *     'recv message' interface is the entry point into this subsystem, the
 *     spinlock will be obtained prior to handling the message receipt.  When
 *     the 'send message' interface is called, the typical use-case is that
 *     the subsystem spinlock is already obtained (since the subsystem is
 *     requesting a message to be sent), so this object does not obtain the
 *     spinlock.  This spinlock must be obtained prior to calling 'send
 *     message' in order for the combining of duplicate messages to be
 *     SMP-safe.
