CPU is never instanciated, but is "always" there...like a real CPU. :)

https://github.com/shanselman/TinyOS/blob/master/OS%20Project/CPU.cs#L42

I saw that line and had to chuckle.

This would involve:

Create one thread for each virtual CPU
Remove all the static members of the CPU class
Creating some sort of affinity mechanism for the scheduler to associate processes with CPUs
The scheduler would need locks over its resources
Syscalls would have to be moved to a new shared entity
Probably a million other things this was just a joke

Still...it's a good idea...
