This is unfortunate since renaming would have meant a new member of the
libxl_scheduler enum which would have made the API
deprecation/compatibility stuff much simpler -- since you could just
return ERROR_INVAL (or ERROR_SEDF_WENT_AWAY ;-)) whenever you saw the
SEDF enum value, rather than having to check each field individually.
