Subject: Suggested code change:  Add /proc/system_type to determine system type / behaviour



	IMO, The Linux Kernel should have a single coarse /proc/system_type  
value to determine whether
	the behaviour of the system should be desktop or server or embedded/ 
desktop or embedded/server.

	Secondary values such as CFS
	/proc/sys/kernel/sched_granularity_ns COULD then have appropriately  
default values set.
