It isn't really an error if no priority inheritance occurs.
An error from this program would be something like mmap returning an error
code.

I'm not sure this one is suitable for the json treatment, it's more of a
demonstration of how to use priority inheritance with processes instead of
threads. Thomas told me this was possible and I was curious to see if this
was true, so I scratched that itch. Not sure if it is useful as a test.

Let's leave pip_stress alone for now please

If it's a for demonstration purposes only, could we remove it from the
source tree? I don't think it should be left there if it's not
considered a proper test.

I suppose this is a fair question, although another question would be
is it useful in the rt-tests suites for other reasons?
It could be used as the "engine" of a test that would be similar to
pi_stress, with a different kind of mechanism.

So then the question would be, is there a value in another pi_stress
like test that avoids pthreads?
If so, I could work it up into a test.
