The /proc/loadavg definition isn't useful for anything remotely sane
wrt load-balancing or otherwise, so I don't really see that integration
happening (its a measure of how many tasks are blocked, where the
load-balancer needs a measure of how many tasks are wanting to run).

But yeah, sched/proc.c or sched/proc_loadavg.c works for me.
