EDF scheduler = Earliest Deadline First scheduling. Rate monotonic scheduling, comparatively, assigns
priorities based on the period of each task. However, it only works if CPU utilization is not too high. EDF
is more difficult to implement, however it always works so long as the tasks are actually possible to
schedule!

Device controllers are generally becoming more complex in the functionality they provide
(e.g. think about the difference between implementing a serial port with a flip-flop controlled
by the CPU and a multi-gigabit network adapter with the TCP/IP stack on the card itself).
