In my (not so) humble opinion, there is still a lot of unnecessary cruft 
in sched.c that should have been removed as the final (clean up) stage 
of implementing CFS (i.e. stuff that was needed for O(1) but no longer 
serves a useful purpose).  I know that the extra overhead of this code 
is probably inconsequential (and the compiler may even optimize some of 
it away) but it looks untidy and makes the code harder to understand.

Recent patches that I've submitted were intended as a start to removing 
some of this cruft and I had intended to send more patches after they 
were accepted.  I figured that it was better to do it as a number of 
small changes rather than one big one.  Should I continue?
