+1 for preferring a single-core concurrency model. This would be much more
likely to be reusable for other platforms, and much simpler to maintain in
the long run (way less platform-specific details to keep track of and
figure out again and again for every new chipset). You CAR problems would
become much more simple... just make sure the scheduler structures get
migrated together with the rest of the globals and it should work fine out
of the box.
