That would work, but task_h_load then dereferences
task->se to get the se->avg.load_avg value.

Going back to task from the se, only to then get the
se from the task seems a little unnecessary :)

Can you explain why you think task_h_load(task_of(se))
would be better? I think I may be overlooking something.
