But Suresh's
sched-avoid-unnecessarily-moving-highest-priority-task-move_tasks-fix.patch
changed all this code:

	/*
	 * To help distribute high priority tasks accross CPUs we don't
	 * skip a task if it will be the highest priority task (i.e. smallest
	 * prio value) on its new queue regardless of its load weight
	 */
	skip_for_load = tmp->load_weight > rem_load_move;
	if (skip_for_load && idx < this_best_prio && idx == busiest_best_prio)
		skip_for_load = !busiest_best_prio_seen &&
				head->next == head->prev;
	if (skip_for_load ||
	    !can_migrate_task(tmp, busiest, this_cpu, sd, idle, &pinned)) {
		if (curr != head)
			goto skip_queue;
		idx++;
		goto skip_bitmap;
	}


What to do?
