I had a bit more of time to test the thing and seems that the performance
are a bit worse?!?! I don' t understand why...

I was also thinking to reduce the idle task to a for(;;) asm("hlt"); and
learn to reschedule_idle how do the task switch (and set the future next
idle task eip properly) if the current process is the idle task. This
should improve performance no? But according to me also the last patch
should have improved and instead it made things a bit worse... Probably I
am missing something of important...
