Complain.
I had to hunt around a bit to discover that this functionality has
something to do with "giving up the timeslice of a virtual cpu in favour of
a specific cpu". And also that it is expected to be of some

So... Could you please flesh out the description/rationale rather a lot
and cc linux-kernel on the patches?
Thanks.
