Assuming that you meant programatically, you can use the xc_sched_id call from libxenctrl to get this information:

from xenctrl.h:  int xc_sched_id(int xc_handle, int *sched_id);

use the SCHED_BVT and SCHED_SEDF symbols

use xc_interface_open() to get the xc_handle used above, xc_interface_close(handle) to close it

Assuming both the BVT and SEDF schedulers are going to be supported, how
do I pragmatically determine which scheduler is in use?

I guess this assumes 3.0.2 at the moment, but I would hope to have
something that could run on any version of 3.0.X.  I could parse the
kernel command line arguments in combination with known information
about the running version... but that's fairly ugly.

Thanks for the help.
