Right, but right now only CFS takes action when we overheat. That is,
only CFS uses capacity_of() which is where the thermal signal gets
reflected.

We definitely could (and maybe should) make RT and DL react to thermal
pressure as well when they're both capacity-aware. But perhaps that's
for later ? Thoughts ?

Thanks,
