Ok, so this gives us something possible to actually play with.
For example, maybe SCHED_TUNABLESCALING_LINEAR is more appropriate
than SCHED_TUNABLESCALING_LOG. At least for WAKEUP_PREEMPTION. Hmm?
(Btw, "linear" right now looks like 1:1. That's linear, but it's a
very aggressive linearity. Something like "factor = (cpus+1)/2" would
also be linear, but by a less extreme factor.
