Argh, this it making the whole thing even worse, because now you're
using that eager naming for setting which has the exact opposite meaning
from testing.

Depending on the exact semantics of LAZY this could be wrong, the
Changeog doesn't clarify.

Changing this in a different patch from resched_curr() makes it
impossible to review :/
