In patch1, RV_PER_TASK_MONITOR_INIT is defined as:

#define RV_PER_TASK_MONITORS 1
#define RV_PER_TASK_MONITOR_INIT (RV_PER_TASK_MONITORS)

RV_PER_TASK_MONITOR_INIT is 1 now, seems not the index of the first only
element in vector. Now no map here, one task has one monitor though if I
am not wrong.
So task_mon_slot_##name must be defined to the index of first element.
Modify the macro definition of RV_PER_TASK_MONITOR_INIT to the index of
first element in vector.

#define RV_PER_TASK_MONITOR_INIT (RV_PER_TASK_MONITORS) - 1

If there are more monitors per task in the furture, like you say, dynamic
allocation and mapping should be used. But I don't know.
