124    - sys_prot_t sys_arch_protect(void)
125    
126    This optional function does a "fast" critical region protection and returns
127    the previous protection level. This function is only called during very short
128    critical regions. An embedded system which supports ISR-based drivers might
129    want to implement this function by disabling interrupts. Task-based systems
130    might want to implement this by using a mutex or disabling tasking. This
131    function should support recursive calls from the same task or interrupt. In
132    other words, sys_arch_protect() could be called while already protected. In
133    that case the return value indicates that it is already protected.
134    
135    sys_arch_protect() is only required if your port is supporting an operating
136    system.
137    
138    - void sys_arch_unprotect(sys_prot_t pval)
139    
140    This optional function does a "fast" set of critical region protection to the
141    value specified by pval. See the documentation for sys_arch_protect() for
142    more information. This function is only required if your port is supporting
143    an operating system.
