Yes. I've written a set of (horrendously inefficient, but working) scripts
that detect whenever sched.h isn't needed in a file anymore.
So I think it's ok if Randy just leaves the dangling references to
sched.h, I will clean them up afterwards.

I recently stopped posting patches because I will be offline for a month
or two and thus unable to look after problems that these patches might
cause. I hope to resume operation in March.
