It is certainly possible to implement an I/O request queue in Ravenscar;
I have done so for the platform SW on ESA's GOCE satellite. Multiple
client tasks, one server (interface driver) task. An I/O request
contains (or is, or refers to) a client-specific protected object (PO)
with an "I/O completed" entry, on which the client task waits after
enqueueing the I/O request. The server task processes submitted I/O
requests in any order and concurrency it chooses; when an I/O request is
done, the server task calls an operation on the request's PO, which
unblocks the entry, resuming the client task.
