 Modified files:
   sys/kern             sched_ule.c
 Log:
  - Allow static_boost to specify no boost with '0', traditional kernel
    fixed pri boost with '1' or any priority less than the current thread's
    priority with a value greater than two.  Default the boost to
    PRI_MIN_TIMESHARE to prevent regular user-space threads from starving
    threads in the kernel.  This prevents these user-threads from also
    being scheduled as if they are high fixed-priority kernel threads.

This is one of those unfortunate cases where one setting doesn't work for everything and I just had to pick a value in the middle somewhere that makes sense. I am likely to remove this tunable before 8.0 is complete but if you notice any serious regressions please try setting kern.sched.static_boost = 1.

Thanks,
Jeff

  - Restore the setting of lowpri in tdq_choose().  It has to be either here
    or in sched_switch().  I accidentally removed it from both places.
