Indeed, a quick review indicates that the new policy for scheduler support was not uniformly applied. I'll update it.
To reiterate: we will only build support for a scheduler if the user specifically requests it. We did this because we are increasingly seeing distros include header support for various schedulers, and so just finding the required headers isn't enough to know that the scheduler is intended for use. So we wind up building a bunch of useless modules.
