I hope that's right, I found that BZ a bit confusing to comprehend. Learning curve.

NACK.
cpu_shares is not available for all schedulers. The set of available
parameters and their valid ranges depends on the hypervisor:
LXC: type = posix, params = cpu_shares
Xen: type = credit, params = weight, cap
ESX: type = allocation, params = reservation, limit, shares
QEMU/KVM: type = posix, params = cpu_shares
Yes, documenting this properly isn't a simple task.
People complain about bad error messages In the bug report. They are
right, the error messages should be improved.
