      /* WARNING, the order *must* be fixed or you'll jeopardize the simulation reproducibility (see RR-7653) */

      /* Here, the order is ok because:
       *
       *   Short proof: only maestro adds stuff to the process_to_run array, so the execution order of user contexts do not impact its order.
       *
       *   Long proof: processes remain sorted through an arbitrary (implicit, complex but fixed) order in all cases.
       *
       *   - if there is no kill during the simulation, processes remain sorted according by their PID.
       *     rational: This can be proved inductively.
       *        Assume that process_to_run is sorted at a beginning of one round (it is at round 0: the deployment file is parsed linearly).
       *        Let's show that it is still so at the end of this round.
       *        - if a process is added when being created, that's from maestro. It can be either at startup
       *          time (and then in PID order), or in response to a process_create simcall. Since simcalls are handled
       *          in arbitrary order (inductive hypothesis), we are fine.
       *        - If a process is added because it's getting killed, its subsequent actions shouldn't matter
       *        - If a process gets added to process_to_run because one of their blocking action constituting the meat
       *          of a simcall terminates, we're still good. Proof:
       *          - You are added from SIMIX_simcall_answer() only. When this function is called depends on the resource
       *            kind (network, cpu, disk, whatever), but the same arguments hold. Let's take communications as an example.
       *          - For communications, this function is called from SIMIX_comm_finish().
       *            This function itself don't mess with the order since simcalls are handled in FIFO order.
       *            The function is called:
       *            - before the comm starts (invalid parameters, or resource already dead or whatever).
       *              The order then trivial holds since maestro didn't interrupt its handling of the simcall yet
       *            - because the communication failed or were canceled after startup. In this case, it's called from the function
       *              we are in, by the chunk:
       *                       set = model->states.failed_action_set;
       *                       while ((synchro = xbt_swag_extract(set)))
       *                          SIMIX_simcall_post((smx_synchro_t) synchro->data);
       *              This order is also fixed because it depends of the order in which the surf actions were
       *              added to the system, and only maestro can add stuff this way, through simcalls.
       *              We thus use the inductive hypothesis once again to conclude that the order in which synchros are
       *              poped out of the swag does not depend on the user code's execution order.
       *            - because the communication terminated. In this case, synchros are served in the order given by
       *                       set = model->states.done_action_set;
       *                       while ((synchro = xbt_swag_extract(set)))
       *                          SIMIX_simcall_post((smx_synchro_t) synchro->data);
       *              and the argument is very similar to the previous one.
       *            So, in any case, the orders of calls to SIMIX_comm_finish() do not depend on the order in which user processes are executed.
       *          So, in any cases, the orders of processes within process_to_run do not depend on the order in which user processes were executed previously.
       *     So, if there is no killing in the simulation, the simulation reproducibility is not jeopardized.
       *   - If there is some process killings, the order is changed by this decision that comes from user-land
       *     But this decision may not have been motivated by a situation that were different because the simulation is not reproducible.
       *     So, even the order change induced by the process killing is perfectly reproducible.
       *
       *   So science works, bitches [http://xkcd.com/54/].
       *
       *   We could sort the process_that_ran array completely so that we can describe the order in which simcalls are handled
       *   (like "according to the PID of issuer"), but it's not mandatory (order is fixed already even if unfriendly).
       *   That would thus be a pure waste of time.
