So this is the reason for all these superfluous NULL pointer checks.  I would 
move all these NULL pointer checks under RTEMS_DEBUG and use an assert. 
Applications that pass NULL pointers around also don't check for return values.

A NULL pointer check is only justified if you use a function that could return one.
