Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH] PERF_COUNT_SW_RUNNABLE_TASKS: measure and act

OK, so you managed to rub me totally the wrong way with posting this
yesterday:
 - you send me each patch twice
 - you used the horrible git sendmail default of --chain-reply-to
   (some day I'll write a script that will detect and auto-bounce
    series sent to me like that)
 - you failed to provide a changelog for any of the patches
 - some subjects were long enough to be a changelog

Please don't do that again ;-)

Anyway, it did get me thinking, how about something like the below?

(compile tested only, we probably want a different name than CLONE_SEM,
but I failed at coming up with anything better, CLONE_FRED?)
