Sure. Will do. Now the interested queues are the one with same priority
class with-in group.

Taking group weight into account will be more precise thing. So may be
I can keep track of total weight on the service tree and determine
group target latency as proportion of total weight.

 group_target_lat = group_weight * cfq_target_latency/total_weight_of_groups
