It would be unfortunate if AS and the interactivity scheduler were to
conflict. Is there a way we can have them talk to each other and have
AS boost some I/O requests for tasks which are marked as interactive?

It would sacrifice some throughput for the sake of interactivity, which
is what the interactivity patches do anyhow. This is a reasonable
compromise.
