Actually, if your code still creates and deletes queues dynamically during the
normal operations, this is clearly not the best approach. Those calls are VERY
costly, and very much prone to unbounded latency.

I.e. They switch to secondary mode, allocate/deallocate ranges of kernel memory,
create/delete internal Xenomai heap objects, and eventually map/unmap those
memory ranges to/from your user-space process.
