Yes, this is how it works. The scheduler asks for a thread dispatch, but <br>
when it takes place is out of the control of the scheduler.<br>

No, this would be completely wrong. You should never call <br>
_Thread_Dispatch_enable(other_cpu) and you should never modify the <br>
thread dispatch level inside the scheduler code. The only thing you can <br>
do is to update the heir and send requests via an inter-processor interrupt.<br>
