 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.
