     @class IOCommandGate
     @abstract Single-threaded work-loop client request mechanism.
     @discussion An IOCommandGate instance is an extremely light way mechanism
that executes an action on the driver's work-loop.  'On the work-loop' is
actually a lie but the work-loop single threaded semantic is 
maintained for this
event source.  Using the work-loop gate rather than execution by the workloop.
The command gate tests for a potential self dead lock by checking if the
runCommand request is made from the work-loop's thread, it doens't check for a
mutual dead lock though where a pair of work loop's dead lock each other.

     The IOCommandGate is a lighter weight version of the IOCommandQueue and
should be used in preference.  Generally use a command queue whenever 
you need a
client to submit a request to a work loop.  A typical command gate action would
check if the hardware is active, if so it will add the request to a pending
queue internal to the device or the device's family.  Otherwise if the hardware
is inactive then this request can be acted upon immediately.

     The run functions can not be called from an interrupt context.

a runCommand is executed by a client.  Cast to this type when you want a C++
member function to be used.  Note the arg1 - arg3 parameters are straight pass
through from the runCommand to the action callout.

during initialisation of the IOCommandGate instance.	 Note if a C++ function
was specified this parameter is implicitly the first paramter in the target
member function's parameter list.
