Not really, but its tricky on SMP because vruntime only has meaning
within a cfs_rq.

The below is quickly cobbled together from a few patches I had laying
about dealing with similar issues.

The avg_vruntime() stuff takes the weighted average of the vruntimes on
a cfs runqueue, this weighted average corresponds to the 0-lag point,
that is the point where an ideal scheduler would have all tasks.

Using the 0-lag point you can compute the lag of a task, the lag is a
measure of service for a task, negative lag means the task is owed
services, positive lag means its got too much service (at least, thats
the sign convention used here, I always forget what the standard is).

What we do is, when @p the target task, is owed less service than
current, we flip lags such that p will become more eligible.

The trouble with all this is that computing the weighted average is
terribly expensive (it increases cost of all scheduler hot paths).

The dyn_vruntime stuff mixed in there is an attempt at computing
something similar, although its not used and I haven't tested the
quality of the approximation in a while.

Anyway, complete untested and such..
