I pushed another patch to the prop/edf-early-release branch to include Jonathan's requested changes for full periodic support.  Note that periodic jobs MUST end with sys_complete_job()---comments are included to that effect.  SPORADIC has also been made the default release behavior, maintaining Litmus's current functionality.
