It's exactly the same as Richard's system. Calling it
multiple-queue is a bit far-fetched, since the system
only has two runqueues, one for RT processes and one
for other processes.
My patch keeps Richard's structure (copied verbatim:)
and adds a feature of my own and the SCHED_IDLE
scheduling class, which was written from the ground
up in about half an hour today ;)
Linus liked Richard's idea, so that part might actually
get in some time. The probability of it happening right
now are pretty slim however, so I guess I'll just keep
updating the patch for every 2.2 kernel version to come.
For folks who missed the start of this thread, you can
get the patch + info from my home page.
cheers,
Rik.
