My reading of the code is that 'struct sched_statistics' is independent 
of the scheduling class. But only sched_fair.c is actually populating 
the stats. Other classes could populate those fields if they choose to.

I still need to investigate why per-process mode (command line without 
-a) doesn't work. Will send an updated patch once that's fixed.
