    // Context switching. Passing control of the CPU from one thread to another is called
    // context switching. This has two distinct phases: preempting the currently running
    // thread and dispatching another thread. Preempting a thread involves the following steps:
    // 1. Changing of the state of the currently running thread from ThreadRunning to whatever
    // is appropriate in the particular case. For instance, if a thread looses control of the CPU
    // because it has to wait for I/O, then its status might become ThreadWaiting. If the
    // thread has used up its time quantum, then the new status should become ThreadReady.
    // Changing the status is done using the method setStatus() described later.
    // This step requires knowing the currently running thread. The call MMU.getPTBR()
    // (described below) lets you find the page table of the currently scheduled task. The
    // task itself can be obtained by applying the method getTask() to this page table. The
    // currently running thread is then determined using the method getCurrentThread().

    // 2. Setting the page table base register (PTBR) to null. PTBR is a register of the
    // memory management unit (a piece of hardware that controls memory access), or MMU,
    // which always points to the page table of the running thread. This is how MMU knows
    // which page table to use for address translation. In OSP 2 , PTBR can be accessed
    // using the static methods getPTBR() and setPTBR() of class MMU.

    // 3. Changing the current thread of the previously running task to null. The current
    // thread of a task can be set using the method setCurrentThread().

    // When a thread, t, is selected to run, it must be given control of the CPU. This is called
    // dispatching a thread and involves a sequence of steps similar to the steps for preempting
    // threads:
    // 1. The status of t is changed from ThreadReady to ThreadRunning.

    // 2. PTBR is set to point to the page table of the task that owns t. The page table of a
    // task can be obtained via the method getPageTable(), and the PTBR is set using the
    // method setPTBR() of class MMU.

    // 3. The current thread of the above task must be set to t using the method setCurrentThread().
    // In practice, context switch is performed as part of the dispatch() operation, and steps 2
    // and 3 in the first list above can be combined with steps 2 and 3 of the second list.
    // In the degenerate case, when the running thread, t, is suspended and no other thread
    // takes control of the CPU, consider it as a context switch from t to the imaginary “null
    // thread.” Likewise, if no process is running and the dispatcher chooses some ready-to-run
    // thread for execution, we can view it as a context switch from the null thread to t.
