[PATCH] gsoc_task: Proof that I can contribute to RTEMS in GSoC

[Rajiv Vaidyanathan]

Hi Gedare,

Thanks for the feedback. I'll avoid adding links here and just mention the
ticket numbers. Regarding the systems related tickets, I looked into #2904
(memory protection) and #2899 (Improving the RPi BSP). It would be great if
you can provide some information regarding the status of these projects. I
saw that #2904 was addressed in previous GSoC editions and #2899 seems to
be inactive since 2017. If any of these is open this year, I am very
excited to pursue them.

Thanks and regards,
Rajiv
