If the user chooses to overcommit the CPU with realtime
tasks, the user cannot expect realtime response.

For realtime, I have not implemented the yield_to callback
at all because it would probably break realtime semantics
and I assume people will not overcommit the CPU with realtime
tasks anyway.

I could see running a few realtime guests on a system, with
the number of realtime VCPUs not exceeding the number of
physical CPUs.
