Hi Peter,
sorry for the delay; anyway, I am working on fixing the patchset
according to the comments I received....
When working on one of your comments, I have a doubt:

I think introducing the BW_SHIFT and BW_UNIT defines can be more useful
in a previous patch (patch 4, where I introduce the "grub_reclaim()"
function, and use ">> 20" for the first time.
Moreover, the "20" magic number is already used in core.c... Should I
introduce the defines in sched/sched.h, and change the existing core.c
code too? Is it ok to embed this change in patch 4 (sched/deadline:
implement GRUB accounting), or should it go in a separate patch?
Thanks,
Luca
