Yes, it is now the default scheduler as of changeset a31f3bff4f76.
One way is to check the Xen boot console output:
xm dmesg | grep "Using scheduler:"

Thanks for the info. Yes i see the default scheduler is credit.

Can you please explain this ?

Are there any valid entries for weight or cap ? Any limits etc ?

Yeah. I think Keir changed this shortly after I sent the mail.
We have sched-sedf and sched-bvt commands so it made sense to
call this sched-credit. Sorry for the confusion.

No confusion. Excellent work i should say.

I have been trying this scheduler with kernel compile on dom0 and some activity inside domU and tried to assign various weights and caps for both domains and the result showed up perfectly in xm top.
