Thanks for pointing the patch out, I was not aware of it. But if I am not mistaken I won't be able to use the framework since we need to work with the periodic and sporadic task model (RT scheduling). I still hope that I will be able to salvage enough of the existing code to make a redevelopment unnecessary. If that doesn't work and I have to start over plugsched looks like a good starting point. - Bjoern -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
