peb,

Because credit2 is not the default scheduler, there's no need for a
separate branch -- the code in xen-unstable.hg is the most recent
version there is.

At the moment credit2 is not HT-aware; it treats each thread as if it
were its own core. (Which is to say, if it has two vcpus to run, it may
put them on different threads on the same core instead of spreading them
across cores).

Unfortunately I've been pulled away from credit2 development for a few
months to work on some XenServer product stuff.  Hopefully I should be
able to get back to credit2 in a month or so.  But if you're interested
in contributing, I'd be happy for some help. :-)
