+1. Previously, when I did a cvs update with original scheduler code, doing
the ports update the machine always froze solid while doing cvs update,
taking 3 minutes to recover. This time with Martin's patch, the freezing
period seems to have decreased quite a bit, although the freeze still
happens. Stefan's amap diff and Bob's VFS/UVM diff also seems to have a
made a difference.

IMHO, this patch should go in!!!!!
No. It's a hack. It points out aproblem that should be investigated
deeper.
If it gives a significant performance improvement but is too distant
from a real solution, maybe it could be worth distributing in
package(s) form.
The team then has the option to actively promote it, or not; and
the package could be updated as new refinements are found.
