The policy SCHED_DEADLINE is available since kernel 3.14 (and most likely backported to older RT_PREEMPT kernels). It is safer to use than fifo or round robin policies due to only limiting part of cpu time for the RT process, leading to lack of lockups of the host. The series adds new vcpusched/iothreadsched called 'deadline' that activates SCHED_DEADLINE for given process. As the scheduler is linux specific, extra implementation was required - it is not possible to use sched_setscheduler, sched_setattr syscall must be used.
