 === 2.2. Phase 2 ===
+Nucleus modular division reflects main objectives of the operating system:
+hardware interface, process alternation, low-level synchronization primitives
+and exception handling routines.
+Let's see such division in details:
+ * `initial.c` implements `main()` and exports the nucleus’s global variables
+   (e.g. process count, device descriptors, etc.);
+ * `interrupts.c` implements the device interrupt exception handler. Processes
+   all the device interrupts, including Interval Timer interrupts, converting
+   device interrupts into V operations on the appropriate semaphores;
+ * `exception.c` implements the TLB program trap and syscall/breakpoint
+   exception handlers;
+ * `dispatcher.c` implements Kaya’s process dispatcher and deadlock detector;
+ * `scheduler.c` implements Kaya’s process configurable scheduler;
+ * `tools.c` implements some kernel utilties and debugging tools.
