won't you have a tunable here? (sysctl?)
You can use the regular userspace tools, like schedtool and chrt to set priorities.
I wanted to get some help from you on this Peter. The out of tree Interactive governor has always used MAX_RT_PRIORITY - 1 here instead of 50.
But Steve started with 50. What do you think should the value be ?
Any static prio value is wrong (static prio assignment requires system knowledge that the kernel doesn't and cannot have), 50 is what threaded IRQs default too as well IIRC, so it would at least be consistent with that.
