hmm. ok. I looked at the code a little bit. It seems to me that the
'borrowing' of RT runtimes occurs only from rt runqueues belonging to
the same root domain. And partition_sched_domains() is the only
external interface that can be used to create root domain out of a CPU
set. But then I think it needs to have CGROUPS/USER groups enabled?
Right?
