I'm looking at some old changes for sched-deadline, and I stumbled
across this. As I'm working on sched deadline tests, I've discovered
that they can't have cpu affinity. They are limited to their sched
domains. That is, sched deadline tasks have whatever affinity that the
domain they happen to be in has.

Is there a condition where rq != task_rq(p) and p->nr_cpus_allowed > 1
isn't true?

Now maybe this will help with -rt when a task hits a migrate disable?

Just asking.
