 * These are the calls for accessing the policy parameters
 * of a particular task.
 *
 * The extra 'get_default' parameter to the second call is
 * IN/OUT as follows:
 * 1) if asserted on the way in it indicates that the default
 * values should be returned, not the ones currently set, in
 * this case 'get_default' will always be asserted on return;
 * 2) if unasserted on the way in, the current settings are
 * desired and if still unasserted on return, then the info
 * returned reflects the current settings, otherwise if
 * 'get_default' returns asserted, it means that there are no
 * current settings due to other parameters taking precedence,
 * and the default ones are being returned instead.

 * Parameters:
 *
 * role: Enumerated as follows:
 *
 * TASK_UNSPECIFIED is the default, since the role is not
 * inherited from the parent.
 *
 * TASK_FOREGROUND_APPLICATION should be assigned when the
 * task is a normal UI application in the foreground from
 * the HI point of view.
 * **N.B. There may be more than one of these at a given time.
 *
 * TASK_BACKGROUND_APPLICATION should be assigned when the
 * task is a normal UI application in the background from
 * the HI point of view.
 *
 * TASK_CONTROL_APPLICATION should be assigned to the unique
 * UI application which implements the pop-up application dialog.
 * There can only be one task at a time with this designation,
 * which is assigned FCFS.
 *
 * TASK_GRAPHICS_SERVER should be assigned to the graphics
 * management (window) server.  There can only be one task at
 * a time with this designation, which is assigned FCFS.
