+/*
+ * litmus/sched_cedf.c
+ *
+ * Implementation of the C-EDF scheduling algorithm.
+ *
+ * This implementation is based on G-EDF:
+ * - CPUs are clustered around L2 or L3 caches.
+ * - Clusters topology is automatically detected (this is arch dependent
+ *   and is working only on x86 at the moment --- and only with modern
+ *   cpus that exports cpuid4 information)
+ * - The plugins _does not_ attempt to put tasks in the right cluster i.e.
+ *   the programmer needs to be aware of the topology to place tasks
+ *   in the desired cluster
+ * - default clustering is around L2 cache (cache index = 2)
+ *   supported clusters are: L1 (private cache: pedf), L2, L3, ALL (all
+ *   online_cpus are placed in a single cluster).
+ *
+ *   For details on functions, take a look at sched_gsn_edf.c
+ *
+ * Currently, we do not support changes in the number of online cpus.
+ * If the num_online_cpus() dynamically changes, the plugin is broken.
+ *
+ * This version uses the simple approach and serializes all scheduling
+ * decisions by the use of a queue lock. This is probably not the
+ * best way to do it, but it should suffice for now.
