We don't do max bandwidth control in the SCHED_OTHER bits as I oppose to
making it non work conserving.

SCHED_FIFO/RR do constant bandwidth things and are always scheduled in
favour of SCHED_OTHER. 

That is, we provide a minimum bandwidth for real-time tasks, but since
having a maximum higher than the minimum is useless since one cannot
rely on it (non deterministic) we put max = min.
