I should have read this patch before I did almost the same patch for as part a series to introduce scale-invariance which I am about to post :(
The only difference I see is slightly different naming and that, AFAICT, task group usage is not accounted for in this patch. Can we add the support for task groups as well? I can provide a patch based on this one if you want.
Also, since more than half this patch comes directly from PJT's original patch I would add "by Paul Turner <pjt@google.com>" somewhere in the text above.

Groups are never updated?
As said above. I have code that does it.
