I am incredible disagreement about the idea of virtual processors
(KSEG's), but then you know that from two years ago.

It won't scale.  There's no need to repeat everything ad infinitum,
just because it's easier to implement.  The resulting code is actually
_less_ complex, though its conceptual complexity is higher.

If you go don the virtual processor route, expect me to not ride in
the bandwagon.
