SCX doesn't have nr_throttled routing right now even for scheds that
implement cpu.max (scx_lavd is the only one right now AFAIK). I'd keep the
documentation more concise and generic. I don't think listing schedulers
that don't implement the feature or specifically pointing to nr_throttled is
all that useful given that most schedulers don't implement it right now.

Thanks.
