Default attributes of tasks/lthreads

Hi Hackers,

I have a question regarding the default scheduling parameters
of newly created tasks and lthreads under L4:

When I create a new task with the task_new syscall, according
to the L4 manual, that task's lthread 0 starts running immediately.

But what are it's scheduling parameters (timeslice duration,
priority) in this case ?

Similarly, when I create a new lthread with lthread_ex_regs,
how are it's scheduling parameters determined ?

Also, is it possible to set these parameters for an lthread
that does not yet exist (The manual doesn't explicitly state
this, but the fact that -conceptually- all lthreads of a task
always exist would suggest that this is indeed possible) ?

Thanks for any response

Rob
