    *urgh*... so I specifically wanted the task interface first to avoid /
    get-rid of all this madness. And then you keep it :-(

    I've spend the past few hours rewriting patches #2 and #3, and adapting
    #4. The thing was working before I added SHARE_FROM back and introduced
    GET, but now I'm seeing a few FAILs from the selftest.

    I'm too tired to make sense of anything much, or even focus my eyes
    consistently, so I'll have to prod at it some more next week, but I've
    pushed out the lot to my queue.git:

    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/peterz/queue.git/log/?h=sched/core-sched

    Also, we really need a better name than coretag.c.
