[Xen-devel] [PATCH v5 2/5] build: Hook the schedulers into Kconfig

[Jonathan Creekmore <jonathan.creekmore@xxxxxxxxx>]

Allow the schedulers to be independently enabled or disabled (except credit) 
at compile-time. To match existing behavior, all four schedulers are
compiled in by default, although the Credit2, RTDS, and ARINC653 are
marked EXPERIMENTAL to match their not currently supported status.

Changed since v4:

  * Removed the "if unsure" language
  * Removed ability to disable the "credit" scheduler
  * Remove stub vcpu_migration_delay functions since credit cannot be disabled

Changed since v2:

  * Hid the scheduler menu behind the EXPERT option
  * Provide static inlines for credit functions that are assumed to be
    always available
  * Provide an absolute default of the credit scheduler if the
    scheduler menu is not visible

Changed since v1:

  * Marked credit2 as EXPERIMENTAL
  * Removed confusing language from the commit message
  * Alphabetize the schedulers
