Is there an existing mechanism to provide a minimum resource (primarily
CPU) to any giving context? Similar to the way network providers give
you 5Mbit/s, but allow burstable bandwidth on demand to the max of your
network interface or available network.

In the context of VServer, allocate a guaranteed minimum resource, but
allow resources to be 'burstable' to 100% of the native host system.
Further, set a maximum 'burstable' limit, of say 90%. and 'reserve' 10%
for host system alone.

Example table
=============
context guar-min burst-max
------- -------- ---------
host 10% 100%
vs1 25% 85%
vs2 50% 85%
vs3 15% 85%
------- -------- ----------
total 100% N/A

Ideas?
