Have you considered adding an implementation of these schedulers to PlugSched?



No, I haven't; I'd be happy to do so, given appropriate pointers to a
codebase I can produce commits for. Is there a public git tree for the
patches, or a series of split out patches?

Yes, but not yet publicly available. I use quilt to keep the patch series up to date and do the change as a relatively large series (30 or so) to make it easier for me to cope with changes in the kernel. When I do the next release I'll make a tar ball of the patch series available.

Of course, if your eager to start right away I could make the 2.6.17-rc4-mm1 one available?

I see only combined patches
on the SourceForge site.

Yes, I'm trying to be not too greedy in my disk space use :-)
