So, you suggest "Strong APA"?

Its implicitly clear that APA has something to do with SMP. The other 
schedulers need the SMP in their name since we have basically two

How about:

cpukit/score/include/rtems/score/schedulerstrongapa.h
cpukit/score/include/rtems/score/schedulerstrongapaimpl.h
cpukit/score/src/schedulerstrongapa.c
