Thanks a lot. That's good anyway.

If I understand correctly, if Ingo's version gets merged with linus' tree
your implementions of SCHED_BATCH in -ck will be replacing the one from Ingo.

A silly question. Is SCHED_BATCH-kind-of-thing a standard in Unices or general
operating system engineering know-how? Or is this concept only available for
Linux?
