only by entering the kernel, the tick counter will be updated
=> by using this feature, MetalSVM supports only LwIP's raw interface,
because we have no guarantee that the tcpip thread will get computation time
=> no NETCONN & BSD socket support
=> no load balancing support
- enable the paging support
- redesign of the APIC code
TODO:
- Currently, we are not able to start user-level applications.
- The RTL8139 driver does not longer work. Perhaps, a bug in the output function.
- The APIC codes doesn't work on all systems. Therefore, the code is currently disabled.

- MetalSVM detects the APIC and initializes the APIC timer
- If an a APIC is available, the PIC timer will be disabled
