Improve kernel state...
Notes on having state as a module:
* Simple way to get global mutable state (do we want that?).
* Otherwise we would probably need to:
  * Either pass it around...
  * ...or build the scheduler (+ trap handlers + ...) under a common class with state as an attribute.

Wishlist:
* [x] We'll need to be able to "reset" it such that multiple scheduler runs can be tested independently.
* [ ] The name `state` is not that great...
