    rv/monitor: Add the wip monitor · 10bde81c

    The wakeup in preemptive (wip) monitor verifies if the
    wakeup events always take place with preemption disabled:
    
                         |
                         |
                         v
                       #==================#
                       H    preemptive    H <+
                       #==================#  |
                         |                   |
                         | preempt_disable   | preempt_enable
                         v                   |
        sched_waking   +------------------+  |
      +--------------- |                  |  |
      |                |  non_preemptive  |  |
      +--------------> |                  | -+
                       +------------------+
    
    The wakeup event always takes place with preemption disabled because
    of the scheduler synchronization. However, because the preempt_count
    and its trace event are not atomic with regard to interrupts, some
    inconsistencies might happen.
    
    The documentation illustrates one of these cases.
