this looks like it could provide a simple way of granting fixed-deadline
tasks appropriate cpu time without effectively handing the machine over.
i was quite skeptical of lennart's idea of a userspace daemon to do the
job reliably, but the scheduler should have pretty good leverage on
rogue tasks :)
Why do you need a special scheduling mode? If you run a watchdog in the
background, you shouldn't handle the machine over.

"das_watchdog" should be a properly made watchdog. It has saved
me numerous times, and works gently by temporarily turning off
realtime priority for all processes if something happens.
