/*
Non-blocking, Lock-free Queue: 
=================================

Push
----
0. Produceers go down the a list of blocks (nbmpscq.blockL)
if a block is not already full then it atomically
fetch-add's block->write_idx by the size of the the element
to be inserted.

1. If after the fetch-add the write_idx is <= block->byteN then 
   - atomically incr ele-count, 
   - copy in ele 
   - place the block,ele-offset,ele-byte-cnt onto the NbMpScQueue().

2. else (the area is invalid) goto 0.

Pop
----
1. copy out next ele.
2. decr. block->ele_count
3. if the ele-count is 0 and write-offset is invalid
reset the write-offset to 0.
