OK, I went through this thread again. So Google or we have to provide
the missing per-taskgroup API via cpu controller's attributes (like for
uclamp) for the EAS usecase.

After reading:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190905114030.GL2349@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.net

IMHO the following mapping of the existing Android (binary)
latency_sensitive per-taskgroup flag makes sense:

latency_sensitive=1 -> latency_tolerance*[-20 .. -1] (less tolerant,
more sensitive)

latency_sensitive=0 -> latency_tolerance[0 .. 19] (more tolerant, less
sensitive)

Default value is 0 so not latency_sensitive.

* Since we use [-20 .. 19] as values for latency_tolerance we could name
it latency_nice. It's shorter ... ?
