Enhanced eventing API

Customer is looking for z/TPF to be enhanced to support some sort of external interface that allows the current ECB to exceed MAXEVENTS.  Conceptually, the current ECB should be able to call some restricted external API that gives it the privilege to create more than MAEXEVENTS signal events per minute.  Once this privilege is turned on for the current ECB, the ECB can call tpf_bev_signal as many times per second as it needs.   It could be part of an existing API or a new one.

    From the IBM TPF lab: We'd like to provide some clarity on this idea for the next TPFUG ballot. We'd like for you to change the summary of this idea to:

    Allow applications to create signal events at a higher rate than the defined MAXEVENTS value.

    If you are in agreement, please edit the summary of this idea in the IBM Ideas Portal to clarify this idea.
    Thank you.
