For the 5.3 release, SCHED_ULE was marked broken, and SCHED_4BSD was 
made the default.

In -CURRENT, SCHED_ULE is not marked broken, but SCHED_4BSD is still the 
default.

There are patches and instructions floating around the -current and 
-stable mailing list for backporting fixes needed to enable SCHED_ULE 
on 5.3.  This is not a supported configuration, though.  It might be 
for 5.4, but that's still a few months down the road.
