I have a (maybe) dumb question, just out of curiosity ...

When there are multiple schedulers, how will resources
(i.e. processor time) be shared between them?  Will there
be a "meta scheduler" which assigns processor time to the
various schedulers, which in turn assign it to processes?

And anther question:  Will it be possible to migrate
running processes from one scheduler to a different one?

And how is this different from the concept of scheduling
classes, like in Solaris?  Or is it just the same?

Best regards
   Oliver
