Just my opinion: this patch [1] is just a cosmetic change. I would argue that
there's no readability improvement by wrapping up elements[0].dl. Infact I
even feel that the elements[0].cpu should directly be accessed since both
.cpu and .dl for the 0th element are directly accessed only from one place
(cpudl_find) and only one time, and explicitly accessing index 0 makes it
more clear that this is the root of the max-heap.

IOW I don't see any benefit in hiding it behind a wrapper which hides the
fact that we're accessing the root of the max heap, but I don't terribly hate
this patch and I'm Ok if maintainers and other reviewers think its worth it.

thanks,

 - Joel
