Deadline scheduler part 2 — details and usage

This is all quite an interesting reading for embedded systems guy like me :-)
Well appreciated!

I just would like to emphasize more the RT patches, because the people behind it
deserve a big credit.

It's true what you wrote about RT preventing lower tasks from (sigh) preventing
higher priority tasks from running when they need to. But the real cool and hardest
thing in all the RT patches is making the kernel as lock-less and as preemptible
as possible, including all the drivers. And all the crazy possible code paths you can
only imagine ;-)
