Yes, it is now the default scheduler as of changeset a31f3bff4f76.
One way is to check the Xen boot console output:
xm dmesg | grep "Using scheduler:"

also let you know which scheduler is running.

xm sched-credit commands will only work if the credit scheduler
is running.

In addition, there's a hypercall which you can ahold of via
xc_sched_id which returns an integer scheduler id defined in
sched_ctl.h (SCHED_CREDIT is 5).

Yeah. I think Keir changed this shortly after I sent the mail.
We have sched-sedf and sched-bvt commands so it made sense to
call this sched-credit. Sorry for the confusion.
