    @class IOCommandGate : public IOEventSource
    @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 doesn't check for a
mutual dead lock though where a pair of work loop's dead lock each other.
<br><br>
	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.
<br><br>
    CAUTION: The runAction, runCommand, and attemptCommand functions cannot be called from an interrupt context.
