I've merged Ross Harvey's "nice" fixes and associated clean up from NetBSD in with my own scheduler hacks. They're at http://www.freebsd.org/~dufault via the "system" link. I won't promise much other than that the resulting kernel boots and runs with no obvious problems to my canned regression tests. There could yet be glaring problems. For the alpha people - I didn't add a separate scheduler clock, you'll have to do that on your own and modify kern_clock.c to not call "update_estcpu", instead call that from your scheduler clock. See Ross's work, my "update_estcpu" is the equivalent of his "sched_clock". If we keep this work I'll match his nomenclature.
