Yes, I don't like it either, but that comes from the fact that it seemed to me
that, semantically, bandwidth for -deadline tasks has to be associated to the
single runqueue in UP and to the root_domain for SMP. In UP root_domain is
compiled out, so I'm not sure to understand what you suggest. I could probably
let dl_bw live on runqueues with the assumption that all the runqueues from the
same root_domain have the same dl_bw, that represents the dl_bw of the
root_domain. But I don't like this replication either :(.

Thanks,
