// The ctx_handler.h and ctx_handler.c files are part of the GIET nano-kernel.
// This code is used to support context switch when several tasks are executing
// in time multiplexing on a single processor.
// The tasks must be statically allocated to a processor in the boot phase, and
// there is one private scheduler per processor:  NB_CLUSTERS * NB_PROCS
// Each sheduler contains up to NB_TASKS_MAX contexts.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// A task context is an array of 64 words = 256 bytes. 
// It contains copies of processor registers, when the task is not running,
// and some general informations associated to the task.
//
// - It contains GPR[i], generally stored in slot (i). $0, *26 & $27 are not saved.
// - It contains HI & LO registers.
// - It contains CP0 registers: EPC, SR, CR.
// - It contains CP2 registers : PTPR and MODE.
// - It contains the TTY global index, the FBDMA global index, the virtual base 
//   address of the page table (PTAB), and the task global index (TASK).
