+/* Overview of MC operations.
+ *
+ * For a detailed explanation of MC have a look at the FMLP paper. This
+ * description only covers how the individual operations are implemented in
+ * LITMUS.
+ *
+ * link_task_to_cpu(T, cpu)     - Low-level operation to update the linkage
+ *                                structure (NOT the actually scheduled
+ *                                task). If there is another linked task To
+ *                                already it will set To->linked_on = NO_CPU
+ *                                (thereby removing its association with this
+ *                                CPU). However, it will not requeue the
+ *                                previously linked task (if any). It will set
+ *                                T's state to RT_F_RUNNING and check whether
+ *                                it is already running somewhere else. If T
+ *                                is scheduled somewhere else it will link
+ *                                it to that CPU instead (and pull the linked
+ *                                task to cpu). T may be NULL.
+ *
+ * unlink(T)                    - Unlink removes T from all scheduler data
+ *                                structures. If it is linked to some CPU it
+ *                                will link NULL to that CPU. If it is
+ *                                currently queued in the mc queue it will
+ *                                be removed from the rt_domain. It is safe to
+ *                                call unlink(T) if T is not linked. T may not
+ *                                be NULL.
+ *
+ * requeue(T)                   - Requeue will insert T into the appropriate
+ *                                queue. If the system is in real-time mode and
+ *                                the T is released already, it will go into the
+ *                                ready queue. If the system is not in
+ *                                real-time mode is T, then T will go into the
+ *                                release queue. If T's release time is in the
+ *                                future, it will go into the release
+ *                                queue. That means that T's release time/job
+ *                                no/etc. has to be updated before requeu(T) is
+ *                                called. It is not safe to call requeue(T)
+ *                                when T is already queued. T may not be NULL.
+ *
+ * mc_job_arrival(T)    - This is the catch all function when T enters
+ *                                the system after either a suspension or at a
+ *                                job release. It will queue T (which means it
+ *                                is not safe to call mc_job_arrival(T) if
+ *                                T is already queued) and then check whether a
+ *                                preemption is necessary. If a preemption is
+ *                                necessary it will update the linkage
+ *                                accordingly and cause scheduled to be called
+ *                                (either with an IPI or need_resched). It is
+ *                                safe to call mc_job_arrival(T) if T's
+ *                                next job has not been actually released yet
+ *                                (releast time in the future). T will be put
+ *                                on the release queue in that case.
+ *
+ * job_completion(T)            - Take care of everything that needs to be done
+ *                                to prepare T for its next release and place
+ *                                it in the right queue with
+ *                                mc_job_arrival().
+ *
+ *
+ * When we now that T is linked to CPU then link_task_to_cpu(NULL, CPU) is
+ * equivalent to unlink(T). Note that if you unlink a task from a CPU none of
+ * the functions will automatically propagate pending task from the ready queue
+ * to a linked task. This is the job of the calling function ( by means of
+ * __take_ready).
