You are right, "T_i" should be substituted with "P_i"...
But now that I look at it more carefully, I think that "C_i" is also
wrong... It should be "WCET_i".


BTW, speaking about documentation: I still have some SCHED_DEADLINE
documentation patches in my local tree... I'll update and send them in
next week. Juri, should I send the patches to you, or submit directly
to the mailing list?

			Thanks,
