I don't really like the name rtems_task_create_from_config(). The key 
feature of this directive is that a user-provided thread storage area is 
used instead of a system-provided. That the parameters for this new 
directive are contained in a configuration structure is just an API 
choice. We could also use a function with nine parameters.

I also don't like the wording "static" in this context. What we need is 
a directive name for "create an Classic API task with a user-provided 
thread storage area".

My favorite is still rtems_task_build().
