+Interacts with the POSIX jobserver during the Kernel build time.
+
+A "normal" jobserver task, like the one initiated by a make subrocess would do:
+
+ - open read/write file descriptors to communicate with the job server;
+ - ask for one slot by calling::
+
+ claim = os.read(reader, 1)
+
+ - when the job finshes, call::
+
+ os.write(writer, b"+") # os.write(writer, claim)
+
+Here, the goal is different: This script aims to get the remaining number
+of slots available, using all of them to run a command which handle tasks in
+parallel. To to that, it has a loop that ends only after there are no
+slots left. It then increments the number by one, in order to allow a
+call equivalent to ``make -j$((claim+1))``, e.g. having a parent make creating
+$claim child to do the actual work.
+
+The end goal here is to keep the total number of build tasks under the
+limit established by the initial ``make -j$n_proc`` call.
+
