I'm (slowly) working on a per-user fair scheduler on top of Ingo's
O(1) scheduler. Slowly because it's a fairly complex thing.

Once that is done it should be possible to change the accounting
to other resource containers and generally have fun assigning
priorities, though that is beyond the scope of what I'm trying to
achieve.
