 * @param size is the requested size for the fifo. 
 * 
 * The RT-FIFO is a character based mechanism to communicate among real-time

 * functions such as read, write, and select.
 *

 * device open, except that when it does not find any already existing fifo it
 * creates it with a default size of 1K bytes.
 *
 * It must be remarked that practically any fifo size can be asked for. In
 * fact if @a size is within the constraint allowed by kmalloc such a function
 * is used, otherwise vmalloc is called, thus allowing any size that can fit
 * into the available core memory.
 *
 * Multiple calls of this function are allowed, a counter is kept internally to
 * track their number, and avoid destroying/closing a fifo that is still used.
