/*
 * A minimal userland scheduler.
 *
 * In terms of scheduling, this provides two different types of behaviors:
 * 1. A global FIFO scheduling order for _any_ tasks that have CPU affinity.
 *    All such tasks are direct-dispatched from the kernel, and are never
 *    enqueued in user space.
 * 2. A primitive vruntime scheduler that is implemented in user space, for all
 *    other tasks.
 *
 * Some parts of this example user space scheduler could be implemented more
 * efficiently using more complex and sophisticated data structures. For
 * example, rather than using BPF_MAP_TYPE_QUEUE's,
 * BPF_MAP_TYPE_{USER_}RINGBUF's could be used for exchanging messages between
 * user space and kernel space. Similarly, we use a simple vruntime-sorted list
 * in user space, but an rbtree could be used instead.
