ULE Update

[Eirik Oeverby]

Thanks for this update,
I've been trying to make a SCHED_ULE enabled kernel work here for a few
days now, thinking it would be about time to test it again (last time
was ~2 months ago), but ata issues have kept me from booting it
successfully. Now I know for sure I can give it atleast another week -
maybe both ata and sched issues can be ironed out by then ;)

Thanks for your efforts.
