This is before context_switch() so prev == current at this point.
However, more importantly, the PSI thing accounts to its 'curr' group
and that should very much be the outgoing task's group in this case.

That is, we need to make sure the outgoing group is up-to-date before
switching to a new group.

Makes sense?

Ha!, is that's all and it all works in one go it's awesome :-)

I'm still trying to learn to type again after switching keyboards. I've
used a thinkpad keyboard (either on an actual laptop or the travel
version on my desktop for nearly 20 years... Now I've picked up a split
keyboard out of necessity (UHK 60 v2 for those interested) and muscle
memory is still cursing me every single day.

As a result, I now also cannot type on my laptop anymore, so lose-lose I
suppose ... urgh.

Thanks!

John, can you write up a changelog with some pretty numbers and all
that? Also, when you re-post, can you make sure to Cc the PSI folks
(johannes and suren iirc, get_maintainers.pl seems to find them).
