I would hardly call a global-edf scheduler unique. Its a well studied
algorithm and even available in commercial SMP operating systems
(hopefully soon Linux too, see SCHED_DEADLINE, which will approximate
global-edf, much like the current SCHED_FIFO approximates global-fifo).

Implementing this as userspace/middleware seems daft. But if your
controlling process has a global affinity mask and runs as the highest
available userspace process priority its still all valid.
