CFS pretty much provides the core logic to fairly divide the cpu as per
the weight of each group. One complication is with respect to SMP
load balance, to ensure that each group gets its fair share on all the
cpus put together. 

We have been experimenting with few ideas on the smp group fairness and expect
to send out the patches to Andrew in a week or two.
