Yeah, well, I guess it could.

They do.

The only difference between credit1 and the other two is that credit1
already has a per-cpu private scheduler structure (csched_pcpu, where
also the runqueue is), and the mask has been put there, so it's handled
a little bit differently.

But it should be no problem turning it into using a mask from
schedule.c, in the same way that RTDS and Credit2 will do.

I like the idea, and I'm up for it for v2.

Thanks and Regards,
Dario
