Did you mean SMP there?  SMP is supported. Even with same rq proxying,
it just blocks the task and lets it sleep if the owner is on another
rq.

!SCHED_CLASS_EXT might be something to add, but mostly because the
SCHED_CLASS_EXT code probably doesn't have a way to understand the
split contexts yet.

I'll dig a bit more there.

Thanks so much for the feedback! Really appreciate it!
