 I really would like to see SCHED_OTHER only returns one level of
 priority, that means, for sched_get_priority_min(SCHED_OTHER) and
 sched_get_priority_max(SCHED_OTHER), it will return only zero
 instead of other ranges, because for time-sharing scheduling,
 knowing and adjusting thread's userland priority is meaningless,
 the priority is ephemeral.
