[1][a] Primarily, this separation serves to provide memory protection and hardware protection from malicious or errant software behaviour.

  9. Software lockout - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_lockout

    Software lockout. In multiprocessor computer systems, software lockout is the issue of performance degradation due to the idle wait times spent by the CPUs in kernel -level critical sections. Software lockout is the major cause of scalability degradation in a multiprocessor system, posing a limit on the maximum useful number of processors.
