sorry for being impatient, but I have a couple of patches which depend 
on the availability of the new task create function. What do you think 
about the directive name, the RTEMS_TASK_STORAGE_ALIGNMENT attribute, 
and the RTEMS_TASK_STORAGE_SIZE() macro?

The documentation of this new directive is incomplete. I would like to 
work first on the specification of the Classic API directives:

https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/3993

This involves a unification/consolidation of the Doxgyen and Sphinx 
documentation.

Afterwards I would like to concentrate more on higher level aspects 
which cover more than one directive. During this work I will revisit the 
documentation of rtems_task_create_from_config().
