Ian Campbell bb477a1b86 docs: remove non-breaking spaces from sedf_scheduler_mini-HOWTO.txt
This document contains several 0xa0 characters (non-breaking spaces). These do
not display correctly in (some) terminals or when the document is rendered by (some)
browsers. Re-encode them as spaces.

I'm not confident that this change will make it through being encoded as a patch
and sent through email. Its effect can be replicated with:

	perl -i -p -e 's/\xa0/ /g' docs/misc/sedf_scheduler_mini-HOWTO.txt

[ I ran the rune rather than trying to apply the patch -iwj ]

sEDF scheduler
--------------
Author:
Stephan.Diestelhorst@{cl.cam.ac.uk, inf.tu-dresden.de}
Overview:
This scheduler provides weighted CPU sharing in an intuitive way and
uses realtime-algorithms to ensure time guarantees.
Usage:
-add "sched=sedf" on Xen's boot command-line
-create domains as usual
-use "xm sched-sedf <dom-id> <period> <slice> <latency-hint> <extra> <weight>"
Where:
-period/slice are the normal EDF scheduling parameters in nanosecs
-latency-hint is the scaled period in case the domain is doing heavy I/O
(unused by the currently compiled version)
-extra is a flag (0/1), which controls whether the domain can run in
extra-time
-weight is mutually exclusive with period/slice and specifies another
way of setting a domains cpu slice
Examples:
normal EDF (20ms/5ms):
xm sched-sedf <dom-id> 20000000 5000000 0 0 0
best-effort domains (i.e. non-realtime):
xm sched-sedf <dom-id> 20000000 0 0 1 0
normal EDF (20ms/5ms) + share of extra-time:
xm sched-sedf <dom-id> 20000000 5000000 0 1 0
4 domains with weights 2:3:4:2
xm sched-sedf <d1> 0 0 0 0 2
xm sched-sedf <d2> 0 0 0 0 3
xm sched-sedf <d3> 0 0 0 0 4
xm sched-sedf <d4> 0 0 0 0 2
1 fully-specified (10ms/3ms) domain, 3 other domains share
available rest in 2:7:3 ratio:
xm sched-sedf <d1> 10000000 3000000 0 0 0
xm sched-sedf <d2> 0 0 0 0 2
xm sched-sedf <d3> 0 0 0 0 7
xm sched-sedf <d4> 0 0 0 0 3
