Err--especially if I forget to "git add" a moved file. Apologies!

-Real-Time group scheduling.

-The problem space:
-
-In order to schedule multiple groups of realtime tasks each group must
-be assigned a fixed portion of the CPU time available. Without a minimum
-guarantee a realtime group can obviously fall short. A fuzzy upper limit
-is of no use since it cannot be relied upon. Which leaves us with just
-the single fixed portion.
-
-CPU time is divided by means of specifying how much time can be spent
-running in a given period. Say a frame fixed realtime renderer must
-deliver 25 frames a second, which yields a period of 0.04s. Now say
-it will also have to play some music and respond to input, leaving it
-with around 80% for the graphics. We can then give this group a runtime
-of 0.8 * 0.04s = 0.032s.
-
-This way the graphics group will have a 0.04s period with a 0.032s runtime
-limit.
-
-Now if the audio thread needs to refill the DMA buffer every 0.005s, but
-needs only about 3% CPU time to do so, it can do with a 0.03 * 0.005s
