    When a context switch happens, how are all the user-mode cpu registers saved? Do one or more of them get temporarily moved to supervisor-mode registers or is an assumption made about any of their contents? Or is there some other method of saving registers between context switches?
    PPC assembly ain't so bad... ;)
