Why not have schedtune be enabled always, and use it to add the margin?
It seems like it'd simplify things.

I haven't looked at the schedtune code at all so I don't know whether
this makes sense given its current implementation. But conceptually I
don't know why we'd need or want one margin in schedutil which will be
tunable, and then another mechanism for tuning as well.
