 Except that wake_up_process calls try_to_wakeup which grabs the runqueue
 lock, which unfortunately is already held when __setscheduler is called.
Yeah, I saw. Move it out in setscheduler() then. I'll try to fix it, but I am not sure I can make a test if it works.
What about the patch below. It compiles and my UP labtop runs fine, but I haven't otherwise tested it. My labtop runs RTExec without hichups until now.
