>     When a scheduling entity is placed onto cfs_rq, its vruntime is pulled
>     to the base level (around cfs_rq->min_vruntime), so that the entity
>     doesn't gain extra boost when placed backwards.
>     
>     However, if the entity being placed wasn't executed for a long time, its
>     vruntime may get too far behind (e.g. while cfs_rq was executing a
>     low-weight hog), which can inverse the vruntime comparison due to s64
>     overflow.  This results in the entity being placed with its original
>     vruntime way forwards, so that it will effectively never get to the cpu.
>     
>     To prevent that, ignore the vruntime of the entity being placed if it
>     didn't execute for much longer than the characteristic sheduler time
>     scale.
