[Libvir] [PATCH][RFC] shows scheduler information

[Atsushi SAKAI]

Hi, Daniel and Rich

Thanks for various comments.

Qemu and Qemu with KVM uses default Linux scheduler.
(struct sched_param)
And Xen uses original scheduler.

At this moment, we should support xen (sedf, credit) and 
Linux scheduler(sched_param).
Is this enough?

Or We should consider other parameters from Linux scheduler API?
(Realtime etc...)
Anyway this should be Linux scheduler related issue.
So we should define Linux scheduler related struct for qemu related issue.

Thanks
Atsushi SAKAI
