Yes, that's a good point.

I'm going to use something a bit different from your proposal below by
merging initial and flag
static void place_entity(struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq, struct sched_entity
*se, int flags)

with flags:
0 for initial placement
ENQUEUE_WAKEUP for wakeup
ENQUEUE_MIGRATED for migrated task
