Make the scheduler code stop moving for a good week, and I am
willing to fix this with linker sets and an opaque indirection
interface.  It won't fix the primary problem of coexistance, at
least up front, but it could allow you to select your scheduler
in loader.conf (-current should remain buildable and runnable in
that same week, of course).
