Thanks.

No, I am not going to commit it in present form. It is mostly made for
technology preview. May be some parts of it could be committed as-is,
but most of others are dirty hacks. I hope they should be safe enough,
but they made with assumption of some tradeoffs and require proper
rework or at least reevaluating. It would be nice if people aware with
these areas (SCHED_ULE, TCP, CPU time resources, yarrow, console, GEOM)
could review and reimplement them properly.
