No... BTW, what's more detailed than the code itself? :-)

There's no such thing. I did something similar for Credit2, and since
it's quite recent, it should still be accurate:
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Credit2_Scheduler_Development#Internals

But that's the problem and one of the main reasons why this sort of
documents does not exist: they get outdated very quickly.

You can ask here, but, if you decide to do so, have an in depth and in
detail look at this:
http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Asking_Developer_Questions

And, please, state your intent and describe the issues you are facing in
achieving it, don't just ask "what does function xxx do?".

Regards,
Dario
