I'd suggest doing it as finegrained as possible - potentially 
one concept at a time. I wouldn't mind a dozen small files in 
include/linux/sched/ - possibly more.

In the end sched.h would include core wakeup/sleep methods that 
tons of drivers rely on, and it would include the 'struct 
task_struct' data type definition (and all its prereqs), which 
we rely on in tons of drivers as well.

Not much else should remain in sched.h - in theory :-)

In terms of build coverage: just build an x86 defconfig with 
perhaps the specific sub-feature (such as autogroups/cgroups) 
turned off/on - I'd suggest for you to not even do allmodconfig 
testing (which is really slow unless you have a cluster of build 
machines), I can test all that and more and fix the fallout 
before applying it.

Thanks,
