Welcome message and DL Server
summary
A patch set implements a DL server that uses SCHED_DEADLINE to schedule an entire fair scheduler so FIFO/RT busy loops cannot starve CFS tasks, replacing fragile user‑space workarounds used at Red Hat and Chrome OS. It adds a deferrable server that freezes activation until a zero‑laxity moment, tracks a run time and period per CPU, and exposes per-CPU parameters so the server only boosts when starvation actually occurs. The code lives on peterz’s branch and is nearing merge.
