I'd strongly suggest a different approach here. Instead of copying the
menu governor code and tweaking it afterwards, it would be cleaner to
literally start from scratch with a new governor. Said new governor
would grow inside the scheduler with more design freedom instead of
being strapped on the side.

By copying existing code, the chance for cruft to remain for a long time
is close to 100%. We already have one copy of it, let's keep it working
and start afresh instead.

By starting clean it is way easier to explain and justify additions to a
new design than convincing ourselves about the removal of no longer
needed pieces from a legacy design.
