we have tried this too, and this has problems too (artificial inflation
of the vruntime metric and a domino effects on other portions of the
scheduler). So this is a worse solution than what we have now. (and this
has all been pointed out in past discussions in which David
participated. I'll certainly reply to any genuinely new idea.)
