That's how we can make the system stable. The swapper can just run as a
normal user process.Only the "kernel", if anything like that will exist in
UniOS, runs in system (or supervisor or kernel) mode, and should provide 
only the basic features : threads, memory spaces, basic IPC , cpu
excpetions and hardware interrupts.
