I understand that the SQLOS uses schedulers to manage the the execution of user requests, and that the schedulers map 1-1 to the CPU's. But is this per core or per socket?

SQL will use all available cores unless you tell it not to; you can select it by right clicking the server>>Properties as seen below; my machine is a single proc 4 core machine...you can see that all cores appear in SSMS:

The SQLOS schedulers map 1-1 with the cores presented to the OS: http://www.runsmall.com/2009/03/sqlos-move-along-nothing-to-see-here.html
