We want to track rt_rq's utilization as a part of the estimation of the whole rq's utilization. This is necessary because rt tasks can steal utilization to cfs tasks and make them lighter than they are. As we want to use the same load tracking mecanism for both and prevent useless dependency between cfs and rt code, pelt code is moved in a dedicated file.
This would mean that we introduce function calls into the cfs scheduler fast-path, something we avoided so far (e.g. the cpu and frequency invariance hooks). Are we OK with that?
Quentin mentioned this already during v3 review back in December. [...]
