This patch is scheduled for inclusion in 7.0. I would like anyone who
cares to run it to validate that it does not create any stability or
performance regression over the existing ULE. This patch replaces ULE
with SCHED_SMP, which will now no longer exist as a seperate fork of ULE.
Briefly, this is still a very suitable scheduler for uniprocessor machines
while providing stronger affinity and other performance improvements for
multiprocessor machines.
Even "works for me!" type responses are welcome so I know roughly how many
people have tested before I commit this close to release.
Thanks!
Jeff
