/**
 * @class DirectPriorityMapper
 *
 * @brief map TRANSPORT_PRIORITY values directly.
 *
 * This implementation maps TRANSPORT_PRIORITY values directly to
 * both DiffServ codepoint and thread priority values.  The behavior
 * is saturating - that is when the TRANSPORT_PRIORITY value is out
 * of the target range, it is mapped to the nearest extremum.
 *
 * DiffServ codepoint values are mapped within the closed interval
 * [0,63], with the corresponding TRANSPORT_PRIORITY values mapped
 * directly within this range.
 *
 * Thread priorities are mapped to the system thread scheduler
 * minimum value (obtained from the sched_get_priority_min(sched)
 * system call, where available) up to the maximum value (obtained
 * from the sched_get_priority_max(sched) system call, where
 * available).  The TRANSPORT_PRIORITY value of 0 is mapped to the
 * minimum and a value of |max-min| is mapped to the maximum.
