+All cores initialise the registers, defining the kernel entry point(s) in case of interrupt, exception or system call.
+This must be done here because the VFS initialization uses RPCs requiring Inter Processor Interrupts.
 In each cluster the core[0] initializes the local process_zero descriptor, containing al kernel threads in a given cluster.
 This include the creation of the local kernel GPT and VSL.

 Finally, all cores make the three following actions:
-  * initialise the registers, defining the kernel entry point(s) in case of interrupt, exception or system call.
+
   * set the TICK timer, and unmask interrupts to activate the scheduler.
   * jump to the idle_thread() function, and wait for an useful thread to be scheduled.
