Looks very promising. I've been making a few changes in the same
direction (except for the fancy CFS bits) and have one way to solve
the one problem you pointed out in your patch.

If we do the dequeue_task and enqueue_task here, we can use
check_preempt_curr in yield_to_fair.

Alternatively, we can do the rescheduling from the main
yield_to function, not from yield_to_fair, by calling
check_preempt_curr on p and current after p has been
enqueued.
