Also, I'm not at all sure about exposing that as an official sysctl.

How about something like so?

Subject: sched/pelt: Introduce PELT multiplier
From: Vincent Donnefort <vincent.donnefort@....com>
Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2022 07:54:50 +0200

From: Vincent Donnefort <vincent.donnefort@....com>

The new sysctl sched_pelt_multiplier allows a user to set a clock
multiplier to x2 or x4 (x1 being the default). This clock multiplier
artificially speeds up PELT ramp up/down similarly to use a faster
half-life than the default 32ms.

  - x1: 32ms half-life
  - x2: 16ms half-life
  - x4: 8ms  half-life

Internally, a new clock is created: rq->clock_task_mult. It sits in the
clock hierarchy between rq->clock_task and rq->clock_pelt.
