Sorry to report that the patch didn't work.  I applied the patch to my 
Xen-2.0-testing tree and copied xen/common/sched_sedf.c from 
Xen-unstable.  When compiling xen, sched_sedf.c generated these types of 
errors:
(1) dereferencing pointer to incomplete type (a lot of these)
(2) `PRIu64' undeclared (first use in this function)

See attachment for the complete list.  So Mark is right.  The API 
differences between testing and unstable is significant enough that back 
porting sched_sedf will involve more work.  But thank you for trying!
