Hum.. what about accounting 'exec_time' and updating 'exec_start' in
rt_sched :: dequeue_task_rt() instead (like update_curr() does it in
dequeue_task_fair())?

This way, on RT -> NORMAL transition.. some 'delta_exec' ( between
deactivate_task() ---> activate_task() ) will be accounted later as if
the task was 'sched_fair_class' during this time.. which I think makes
some sense. What do you think?

sched_setscheduler()
{
...
        on_rq = p->on_rq;
        if (on_rq)
                deactivate_task(rq, p, 0);
        oldprio = p->prio;
        __setscheduler(rq, p, policy, param->sched_priority);
        if (on_rq) {
                activate_task(rq, p, 0);
...
