It means you have (a) real-time task(s) that consume significant amount
of time. At some point we throttle them in an attempt to keep the system
from falling over.

Yep.

Unlikely, I don't think I've ever seen anybody run their nfsd with RT
priority. Also, you can run RT tasks regardless of the config options.
SCHED_RR and SCHED_FIFO are POSIX specified and always available.
