+ <listitem>
+ <para>Assign the specified CPU time quota to the processes
+ executed. Takes a percentage value (suffixed with "%") or an
+ absolute time (suffixed by one of the common time units, us,
+ ms, s, ...). The percentage specifies how much CPU time the
+ unit shall get at maximum, relative to the total CPU time
+ available on one CPU. Use values > 100% for alloting CPU
+ time on more than one CPU. If an absolute time is specified
+ the processes of this unit will get this much absolute time
+ within each quota period, at maximum. This controls the
+ <literal>cpu.cfs_quota_us</literal> control group
+ attribute. For details about this control group attribute,
