1. A method of managing saved process states in a memory of a data processing system including a first partition and a second partition, the first partition executing a first operating system that is independent of a second operating system executing in the second partition, the method comprising: a first processor within the first partition executing a process under the first operating system, said first process having a hard architected state; the first processor suspending execution of the process; the first processor storing the hard architected state of the process from the processor to a memory of the data processing system; and a second processor within the second partition accessing the hard architected state of the process and resuming execution of the process under the second operating system utilizing the hard architected state.
