Ahh, you wanted to not only reduce the size of sched.h you want to
reduce the amount of code it brings in. 

I'll go back to the drawing board. I'll pull the relevant code from
sysctl.h into auto_group.h, then I'll remove the include in sched.h.
Then I'll track down all the build failures from the above :).
