Yes, but how can I store the relation APIC ID - Kernel ID in the GDT?
Is there any way to avoid using an array for that?

I'm still learning yet, so many concepts are difficult for me.
My idea is to get a basic and functional SMP implementation, and then get help from more experienced developers to improve it.

just saying how we can optimize after it)
