/**
 * @brief SIMD context management
 * @defgroup kernel_cpu_simd SIMD
 * @ingroup kernel_cpu
 *
 * SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) context management allows saving and restoring the state of SIMD registers,
 * the fact that SIMD uses its own registers is the reason that we cant use SIMD in the kernel normally.
