Yes Mike has been doing tireless good work.

Another thing I noticed is that because all of the scheduler
core operations are now function pointer callbacks, the
call chain is deeper for core operations like wake_up().

Much of it used to be completely inlined into try_to_wake_up()

With the addition of the RB tree stuff, that adds yet another
unavoidable depth of function call.

wake_up() is usually at the deepest part of the call chain,
so this is a big deal
