I met an oddity while fiddling to see what a custom slice would do for
cyclictest, it seeming to be reasonable target.  $subject seems to be
working fine per live peek with crash, caveat being it's not alone in
otherwise virgin source...

homer:..kernel/linux-tip # make -j8 vmlinux && killall cyclictest

Elsewhere, post build/kill...

instance-b, launched w. custom slice, and verifies via live peek with crash.

Those Avg: numbers follow the custom slice.
