rt-app is the workload generator, right?

I think the most interesting part here is the switched_from path, so
you'd want the workload to include a !rt task that gets PI boosted to
deadline every so often.

Also, does rt-app let tasks die? Or does it spawn N tasks and lets them
run jobs until the end? I think you want to put some effort in
task_dead_dl() as well.

After that, just make sure rt-app generates a _lot_ of tasks such that
the migration thing gets used.

Other than that, no, not really :-)
