Paul, yes CKRM classes at this point are flat, we looked initially at
hierarchies and
determined that for the first release might add a lot of complexity with
questionable
benefits for the community at large. So we left hierarchies out.
Based on the general community feedback we might have to revisit this issue.

Again, I see cpusets and CKRM as addressing two orthogonal issues wrt to
cpu's

cpusets (partitioning in space) with hierarchies
CKRM (time partitioning) how much of time does a class get...
