Users can set SCHED_DEADLINE as a scheduling policy.
For example, for setting runtime = 10000000, deadline = 15000000
and period = 20000000 for vcpus 0-2:
<cputune>
...
<vcpusched vcpus="0-2" scheduler="deadline"
runtime="10000000"
deadline="15000000" period="20000000"/>
...
</cputune>
Update release notes accordingly.
