The logic is in the difference between the dynamic and the static priority to 
determine if a task is interactive. 
current->static_prio - current->prio
will give you a number of -5 to +5, with +5 being a good bonus and vice versa.
however you need to ensure that the value you are fiddling with in the i/o 
scheduler is actually due to the current process[1]

On top of that, the p->prio itself will give you a number of 0-140 depending 
with higher being a lower priority task; numbers 100-140 are for user tasks 
and <100 for real time tasks. 

These all change if you fiddle with the magic in bonus ratios and max rt prio 
etc.
