Maybe I look wrong at nucleus/shadow.c, but I see only two reasons
for for xnshadow_relax being called for a secondary mode syscall: 

- a call requiring primary mode was made and the switchback flag is
set (which itself can have two reasons, either the fact that the
syscall uses it, the only one being currently rt_timer_set_mode, or
the fact that the caller runs with the SCHED_OTHER policy and does
not hold a mutex)

- a call with the adaptive flag was made, handled in primary mode,
but returned -ENOSYS, which means the call needs to be retried in
secondary mode.
