My main concern is that sharing the runqueue between cores requires
some changes to the core context switch code. The kinks aren't 100%
worked out yet, so there's a risk that there will be an impact on the
correctness of the credit1 scheduler.

If you want to go that route, we should probably talk about the
changes we want to the context switch path first, and check that in as
a separate patch, before checking in the core scheduler code.

Or we could just check it in and sort it out as things go, since this
is -unstable. :-)

Thoughts?

Either way I'll write up an e-mail describing some of the scheduler
path changes I'd like to see.
