I'd appreciate it if Terry (or someone else) could clarify exactly the
differences between the "scheduler activations" model described in the
paper Daniel Eischen recently pointed out (which I thought was very well
written):

http://www.freebsd.org/~deischen/p95-anderson.pdf

and the model he seems to prefer (async call gates). I've been rereading
some of the old discussions about this, and they seem fairly similar.

I'm not likely to be able to bring much to the discussion, but I'd
appreciate the extra hint so I can understand it better :-)
