We are mainly interested in the Classic API at the moment. I selected 
the Interrupt Manager Extensions since it has a clear scope, it is not 
yet included in the RTEMS Classic API Guide and there are not tests in 
the repository.

Adding a specification for POSIX API parts is probably a bit more 
difficult, since you also have to interpret the POSIX standard.
