So, since we agreed about only allowing, *for* *now*, per-domain
parameter setting, this is not a requirement anymore, is it?

I think we can just stick to a pretty basic implementation of `xl
sched-rt', acting similarly to its credit, credit2 (and sedf)
counterparts.

How to allow an user to set the parameters for multiple vcpus at the
same time from xl has become a Xen 4.6 issue. :-)
