on thread switch, all the appropriate per-thread attributes (mostly 
kernel-mode stack stuff) are copied in the global CPU state (either in the 
KPCR or in CPU-specific structures like the TSS). In the thread switch code 
you should see an interrupt-critical region (cli/sti) where this operation 
is performed

winnt.h and ntdef.h define an undocumented RTL_NUMBER_OF macro for Windows 
XP or higher (?)
