*	Implementation of an EDZL global scheduler.	Glenn Elliott	2010-12-18
	This patch introduces an Earliest-Deadline Zero-Laxity scheduler. Jobs are normally scheduled by globally by deadline. However, jobs with zero-laxity are given priority over jobs with laxity (aka slack). Each job on the ready queue uses a timer to track points of zero-laxity. Scheduled jobs have no need of timers. Ties are broken by EDF if there exist more jobs with zero-laxity than processors.
