Subject: [PATCH 00/15] sched/headers: Optimize scheduler build time

Optimize the kernel scheduler build time by organizing the code into
larger build units. This cuts CPU usage by 60%.

These patches originate from the fast-headers tree.

The numbers:

Cumulative scheduler (kernel/sched/) build time speedup on a
Linux distribution's config, which enables all scheduler features,
compared to the vanilla kernel:

    Summary:

      - CPU time used to build the scheduler dropped by -60.9%, a reduction
        from 22.1 clock-seconds to 8.7 clock-seconds.

      - Wall-clock time to build the scheduler dropped by -3.9%, a reduction
        from 2.95 seconds to 2.84 seconds.
