I have been working on a feedback multilevel scheduler with 40 levels to
make it easier to incorporate with the kernel and user utilities. I
haven't touched it for a while, but it was starting to work, but kept
running into problems remoing things from the run queue. I had ambitions
at one time of making it a tunable scheduler, but I'm still focusing on
stability for now. I can probably generate some patches against 2.0.33 if
there's interest.
