/**
 * @page NV Scheduler
 *
 * Overview
 * ========
 *
 * An nvs_sched object defines a _scheduler_, this is an object that contains
 * information about the domains and contexts to manage, and some operations
 * to interact with the underlying HW. The scheduler is split up into three
 * distinct parts:
 *
 * 1. The implementation operations that allow the scheduler to interact
 *    with a given piece of hardware. This serves as a hardware abstraction
 *    since the conceptual framework here is not tied to a specific piece of
 *    HW such as a GPU.
 * 2. Algorithm implementations that pick the next context to actually run.
 * 3. A core component that defines the data structures which define the
 *    domains/contexts. The core component is responsible for linking the
 *    scheduling algorithm outputs to hardware operations.
 *
 * Implementation Operations
 * =========================
 *
 * Each concrete implementation of nvsched must provide, at a minimum some
 * operations that allow the scheduling logic to interact with the managed
 * HW. The two primary operations are preemption and recovery.
 *
 * Algorithms
 * ==========
 *
 * nvsched splits the data structures from the algorithms. This allows
 * multiple algorithms to be supported: for example one implementation could
 * use a round-robin approach for picking next domains, but another may wish
 * to use a priority based approach.
 *
 * Core Scheduler
 * ==============
 *
 * The responsibility for the core scheduler is to provide data structures
 * that model a two level scheduling model: first there's domains and then
 * there's contexts within a domain. An implementation built on top of
 * nvsched will need to instantiate domains and contexts and then execute
 * some top level operations to trigger scheduling work.
 *
 * The data structure nesting looks like this:
 *
 *   struct nvs_sched
 *   +-------------------------+     +---------->+-----------+
 *   |                         |     |           | preempt() |
