Right. For the first point I think we just need to make our off-line
calculation right, not that we need to modify implementation. On the
second point we need more work yes. Also, another thing that is missing
is frequency (uarch) scaling for reservations parameters, something alike
what we are doing for CFS; this last point might be solved sooner :-).
