Actually the current way works pretty well. Ntpd will try to use the
sched_* functions, but if they fail it will try other ways to set
the priority. It is just the fact that it logs the the fact that the
sched_* functions are not available that gives people a shock ...
and a chance to enable it in their kernel. :-)
