This looks very interesting, thanks for sharing!
I have some "theoretical" comments; I'll look at the code later.

The goal for single CPU affine tasks is clear; which kind of guarantees
do you want to provide for the other (global) tasks? The tardiness
guarantees?

Ok; the layered approach clearly causes some unneeded deadline misses
on global tasks... But those tasks risk to miss deadlines anyway (with
the corrent scheduler, they are guaranteed to have a limited tardiness,
not to respect all of the deadlines). I think this is related to the
question about which guarantees are provided to the global tasks.

Ok; I think this is similar to what is called "pseudo-deadline" in some
papers.
If I understand well, it is equal to the current time + the task
"laxity" (or slack time). So, scheduling the task with the smaller ttf
is equivalent to the "least laxity first" (LLF) algorithm.
Giving precedence to tasks with 0 laxity is a technique that is often
used to improve the schedulability on multi-processor systems.

Ok, this looks interesting... I have to better understand this rule. If
I am not wrong, this is equivalent to
now + left_budget > min(now + laxity) =>
=> left_budget > min(laxity)
So, if I understand well when the remaining budget of the current task
is larger than the minimum laxity you switch from EDF to LLF (which is
equivalent to local time to fail)? Is this understanding correct?
I _suspect_ that the migration rules must also be changed (when a task
migrates from a runqueue, it currently selects as a target the runqueue
having the largest earliest deadline... Maybe it should also consider
the presence of rq-local tasks - or the LLF-ordered heap - on the
target?)
Did you find this scheduling strategy on some paper? Otherwise, I think
we need to develop some theoretical analysis for it... (which is of
course another interesting thing! :)
