Still doesn't make sense. How would you know the constraint of RT task
A, and that it cannot be satisfied by OPP0 ? The only information you
have in the task model is a static priority.
The only possible choice the kernel has at this point is max OPP. It
doesn't have enough (_any_) information about worst case execution of
that task.
