Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 2/3] arinc: Add cpu-pool support to scheduler.

1.  Remove the restriction that dom0 must be in the schedule, since dom-0 may
not belong to the scheduler's pool.
2.  Add a schedule entry for each of dom-0's vcpus as they are created.
3.  Add code to deal with empty schedules in the do_schedule function.
4.  Call the correct idle task for the pcpu on which the scheduling decision
is being made in do_schedule.
5.  Add code to prevent migration of a vcpu.
6.  Implement a proper cpu_pick function, which prefers the current processor.

These changes do not implement arinc653 multicore.  Since the schedule only
supports 1 vcpu entry per slot, even if the vcpus of a domain are run on
multiple pcpus, the scheduler will essentially serialize their execution.

If this were a change to one of the main schedulers I think I would say that it was too late for such an intrusive change. But at the moment, I don't think there are other users of this code, so I'm inclined to be more permissive.

Unless someone wants to argue otherwise:
