Without having fully read the referenced paper, we're currently looking
to support the sporadic task model through SCHED_DEADLINE (by our SSSUP
friends):

http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/2/28/107

This work aims to implement a full sporadic task scheduler [initially
(g)EDF], SCHED_SPORADIC would have been a better name, but since POSIX
stole that from us we took SCHED_DEADLINE to indicate its a deadline
scheduler.

Along with this work comes the full Deadline-inheritance (which should
be but a small change from our current Priority-inheritance code), and
also Bandwidth-inheritance (more work). Esp. the latter would also be
required for your proposed SCHED_SPORADIC since it does aim to be a
'strict' bandwidth enforcing scheduler.

[Does the proposed 'fixed' SCHED_SPORADIC deal with admission control?]

But as it stands, this work would provide much more complete sporadic
task support than the fixed SCHED_SPORADIC would.
