    Provide the infrastructure for multiple task contexts.
    
    A more flexible approach would have resulted in more pointer chases
    in the scheduling hot-paths. This approach has the limitation of a
    static number of task contexts.
    
    Since I expect most external PMUs to be system wide, or at least node
    wide (as per the intel uncore unit) they won't actually need a task
    context.
