I am exploring how different drivers handle priority levels and this 
caught my eye.

Is the implication of the last paragraphs that on hw with nr_rings > 1, 
ring + 1 preempts ring? If so I am wondering does the "spreading" of 
user visible priorities by NR_SCHED_PRIORITIES creates a non-preemptable 
levels within every "bucket" or how does that work?
