The syscall does the whole:

	task_rq_lock();
	queued = task_on_rq_queued();
	running = task_current();
	if (queued)
		dequeue_task();
	if (running)
		put_prev_task();

	/*
	 * task is in invariant state here,
	 * muck with it.
	 */

	if (queued)
		enqueue_task();
	if (running)
		set_curr_task()
	task_rq_unlock();

pattern; which because C sucks, we've not found a good template for yet.

Without the dequeue/put,enqueue/set you have to jump a few extra hoops.
