The weight is currently 2, inv_weight is 1 << 31, which is correct.

I implemented the advance min_vruntime at nice 0 thing, and that seems
to work fine.  SCHED_IDLE tasks slam right as they execute, but check
out how _far_ right they slam.  This was with the build pinned to cpu 3,
so no migration issues.  I'll try weight of 3.
