Ok then, functionally, that is going to be exactly the same thing as
where it is right now, i.e., a set of global per_cpu() variables. It is
possible for your solution to bring some cache/locality benefits,
although that will very much depends on single cases, architecture,
workload, etc.

That being said, I'm definitely fine with it and can go for it.

It was Jan that suggested/asked to pull them out of the stack, and I
guess it's George's taste that we value most when hacking sched_*.c, so
let's see if they want to comment on this and then I'll decide. :-)

Thanks and Regards,
Dario
