 In SMP configurations, the maximum count of MrsP semaphores must be
 configured via CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_MRSP_SEMAPHORES.  The MrsP semaphore
 implementation predates the addition of self-contained synchronization
 objects.  At this time, the potential memory reduction was justified
 considering the more complex     configuration and additional use of the
 workspace.  With the availability of self-contained synchronization
 options, e.g. POSIX mutexes, this is no longer justified.  Memory
 constrained applications should use the self-contained synchronization
 objects. Remove the CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_MRSP_SEMAPHORES configuration
 option. This has only an impact on applications which use SMP and a large
 number of scheduler instances.
