 * The global file system locations are used for
 * - the mount point location in the mount table entry,
 * - the file system root location in the mount table entry,
 * - the root directory location in the user environment, and
 * - the current directory location in the user environment.
 *
 * During the path evaluation global start locations are obtained to ensure
 * that the current file system will be not unmounted in the meantime.
 *
 * To support a release within critical sections of the operating system a
 * deferred release is supported.  This is similar to malloc() and free().
 *
 * @see rtems_filesystem_global_location_obtain() and
 * rtems_filesystem_global_location_release().
