Several small changes regarding SCHED_DEADLINE documentation that fix
terminology and improve clarity and readability:

  - "current runtime" becomes "remaining runtime"

  - readablity of an equation is improved by introducing more spacing

  - clarify when admission control will certainly fail

  - new URL for CBS technical report

  - substitue "smallest" with "closest"

I'm tempted to say "earliest" (being part of the algorithm's name and all
;)
Well, AFAIR "closest" was suggested during the initial review some months ago...
Anyway, if now there is agreement on "earliest" I can change to it; let me know.

[...]
   Summing up, the CBS[2,3] algorithms assigns scheduling deadlines to tasks so
   that each task runs for at most its runtime every period, avoiding any
   interference between different tasks (bandwidth isolation), while the EDF[1]
- algorithm selects the task with the smallest scheduling deadline as the one
+ algorithm selects the task with the closest scheduling deadline as the one
   to be executed first.  Thanks to this feature, also tasks that do not

s/first/next/

Also, next sentence does not make much sense, I would drop the also;

"Thanks to this feature, tasks that do not strictly comply with the ..."
I agree with these changes, but they are in text that is not changed by my
patch, right?
What should I do? Add these changes to the patch, or send an additional incremental
patch with these changes?



				Thanks,
					Luca
