So this is extra ugly, for no gain?

WTH does clang complain about a constant? Can't you just disable that
stupid warning?

Also, if sysctl_sched_features is a constant, the both expressions
_should_ really result in a constant and clang should still warn about
it.

I'm really not seeing why we'd want to do this. Just fix clang to not be
stupid.
