                    ^^^^^^^^^^

For robustness/consistency, shoudln't this be LATENCY_NICE_WIDTH?

                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
As per my comment in patch 1, we almost always (but one time) call this with
"false" and that's not returning the sysctl_sched_latency but a possibly
discounted value in case of feat(GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS).

Just to avoid confusion (this could be not the sched_latency) and to better
document the code, what about using a accessor define something like e.g.

   #define max_wakeup_latency get_wakeup_latency(false)

?

Best,
Patrick
