    kernel - Add usched_dfly algorith, set as default for now (7)
    
    * Reenable weight2 (the process pairing heuristic) and fix the
      edge cases associated with it.
    
    * Change the process pulling behavior.  Now we pull the 'worst' thread
      from some other cpu instead of the best (duh!), we only pull when a
      cpu winds up with no designated user threads, or we pull via a
      schedulerclock-implemented rover.
    
      The schedulerclock-implemented rover will allow ONE cpu to pull the
      'worst' thread across all cpus (with some locality) once every
      round-robin ticks (4 scheduler ticks).
    
      The rover is responsible for taking excess processes that are unbalancing
      one or more cpu's (for example, you have 6 running batch processes and
      only 4 cpus) and slowly moving them between cpus.  If we did not do this
      the 'good' processes running on the unbalanced cpus are put at an unfair
      disadvantage.
    
    * This should fix all known edge cases, including ramp-down edge cases.
