[SNIP]
Your implementation has just one problem: it doesn't do task
switches of multiple SCHED_IDLE processes, since they all have
the same priority and they don't change position on the runqueue.
It will need the same place-changing behaviour that SCHED_RR
tasks get upon entering schedule()...
Except for this detail, this is an exceptionally clean looking
patch and it really should go into the kernel before 2.2 (this
might get far more sysadmins and other folks to run rc5des or
more useful clients on their machines/servers; this could give
a lot more computing power to those projects)
