cpu: Change raw pointers to STL Containers

This patch changes two members from being raw pointers to being STL
containers. The reason behind, other than cleanlyness and arguable OO
best practices is that containers have more intronspections capabilities
than naked pointers do, as the size is known.

Using STL containers adds little overhead and eases the automation of
process during debugging (gdb).
