Yes, if bucketization is acceptable, we should probably rename.
Question is: are you ok for a renaming in this patch. or you better
prefer I use that naming since the beginning ?
If we wanna use "bucket" since the beginning, then we should also
probably squash the entire patch into the previous ones and drop this
one.
I personally prefer to keep this concept into a separate patch, but at
the same time I don't very like the idea of a massive renaming in this
patch.

Mmm... the default is already set to what fits into a single cache
line... perhaps we can use that as a minimum too ?
But. technically we can (partially) track different clamp values also
with just one bucket... (explanation in the following comment).

This will force to track each clamp value with the exact bucket value.
Instead, by tracking the actual clamp value within a bucket, we have
the chance to updte the bucket value to the actual (max) clamp value
of the RUNNABLE tasks in that bucket.
In a properly configured system, this allows to track exact clamp
values with a minimum number of buckets.
