That is a terribly long title, how about Architecture Specifics?

I am wondering if this should be on the toplevel documentation structure
directly under Linux Scheduler.

I think the x86 and MIPS context switch documentation could be placed
under Process context switching in a section Architecture Specifics.

s/Scheduler overview/Scheduler Overview/

for some more consistent capitalisation.

right?
