what's the problem with doing that? It's a single comparison [of two
values we already have accessed in that function!] and a rarely taken
branch in a single subarch of a single arch's switch_to() function. If
this use (of migration related arch functionality) becomes more
widespread then we can generalize it, but right now i just dont see the
point, given that the two solutions are almost totally equivalent in
terms of "overhead".
