    The patch of PlugSched-5.1 for 2.6.12-rc5 applies cleanly to 2.6.12-rc6
    and is available at:

    <http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cpuse/plugsched-5.1-for-2.6.12-rc5.patch?download>

    A (new) patch for 2.6.12-rc6-mm1 is available at:

    <http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cpuse/plugsched-5.1-for-2.6.12-rc6-mm1.patch?download>

    Very Brief Documentation:

    You can select a default scheduler at kernel build time. If you wish to
    boot with a scheduler other than the default it can be selected at boot
    time by adding:

    cpusched=<scheduler>

    to the boot command line where <scheduler> is one of: ingosched,
    nicksched, staircase, spa_no_frills or zaphod. If you don't change the
    default when you build the kernel the default scheduler will be
    ingosched (which is the normal scheduler).

    The scheduler in force on a running system can be determined by the
    contents of:

    /proc/scheduler

    Control parameters for the scheduler can be read/set via files in:

    /sys/cpusched/<scheduler>/
