DWORD SERVICE _CreateMutex(LONG Boost, ULONG Flags)

Allocates memory for and initializes a mutex. The priority boost is stored in the mutex, and is used to boost a thread's priority when it acquires the mutex. When a thread blocks waiting for the mutex it is given one half of the priority boost. Uses EAX, ECX, EDX, and flags.

Returns a handle identifying the new mutex if the function succeeds; otherwise returns NULL.
