There's generally a better value than 100 when using computers.. seeing
how 100 is 64+32+4.

You don't actually compute the rq utilization, you only compute the
utilization as per the fair class, so if there's significant RT activity
it'll think the cpu is under-utilized, whihc I think will result in the
wrong thing.
