I don't know.  How does the current scheme do this?

I had thought the rationale for assigning four priorities to each run queue was
that it was "good enough" and the smaller number of run queues reduced the
overhead of the scheduler.  Is there a more interesting reason that I'm missing?
 (This wouldn't be the first time.)
