there is actually some good and current code at

	http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/FreeBSD/
	http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/FreeBSD/geom_sched-20090307.tgz

hopefully should still be working on RELENG_7 as long as you refrain
from removing the scheduler from a live mounted fs.  I used it on
RELENG_7, with minor changes should work on R8/HEAD, and I hope to
come up with updated versions by the end of the month when i am
done with the dummynet rewrite.
