Con Kolivas returns with a new scheduler

Con Kolivas, who worked on desktop interactivity issues in the past before
storming off in 2007, has posted a new
scheduler called BFS. "It was designed to be forward looking only,
make the most of lower spec machines, and not scale to massive hardware. ie
it is a desktop orientated scheduler, with extremely low latencies for
excellent interactivity by design rather than 'calculated', with rigid
fairness, nice priority distribution and extreme scalability within normal
load levels.
