No, as I said, I'm ok with the requirement of -e 0/1 always having to
be present, when changing the vCPU(s) parameters with xl.

I'm talking about what happens at domain creation time.

If the default in Xen is already 'extratime on', I think we're mostly
fine.

As for xl/libxl, I think it would probably be good to take care of
extratime, e.g., in sched_rtds_domain_set() (in a similar way to how we
deal with period and budget, i.e., taking advantage of
LIBXL_DOMAIN_SCHED_PARAM_EXTRATIME_DEFAULT).

Dario
