Last Friday I had put together a similar patch based on Peter's. I need
the flags field for the remote wakeup support. My previous plan,
installing a late callback in check_preempt_curr that gets requested
from the earlier existing CFS callback, was not working out since those
two events don't always match up 1:1.

Anyway one way that my patch differed was that I had used the flags
field to keep the behavior the same for both RT and DL. That happens
later on in this series for RT but the DL policy is modified as above.
Can the DL policy be left as-is and discussed/modified in a separate
series?

thanks,
Steve
