Hi,

You should first find out what happened to the old project to implement
a pluggable disk scheduler idea for a SoC. There's some information
here: http://wiki.freebsd.org/Hybrid . It has apparently been developed,
up to a point, but has never been integrated into FreeBSD sources, and
is thus abandoned now.

You should:

a) Contact the old author for more information
b) Find out why the project hasn't been accepted / merged into the
official FreeBSD source tree
c) Decide if the problems that the previous project faced are something
you can solve (or have been solved by others in the meantime) so your
project results end up in FreeBSD.
