Subject: [RFC] Expanding Scope-based Resource Management

Hi Peter,

I greatly admire the Scope-based Resource Management infrastructure 
you introduced to the Linux kernel, as it elegantly aligns with the 
Resource Acquisition Is Initialization (RAII) programming idiom, 
improving code safety and maintainability.

I am interested in driving a comprehensive conversion of traditional 
manual lock/unlock patterns to use guard/scoped_guard,
starting with the sched module. 

Before proceeding, I’d like to confirm if you believe 
this effort is valuable and whether you’d support such a conversion.

Best,
Jemmy
