Yeah, so the purpose of kernel/sched/debug.c is mostly meant as a filesystem 
interface to display various internal scheduler details. It mostly deals with 
/proc/sched_debug details: hence the name.

Note that 'sched domain debugging' does not fit into that cleanly, because it also 
does sanity checking of the sched-domains data. So I'm not sure we want to do 
patch #3 that moves sched-domain debugging to debug.c.

So debug.c is named in a bit too generic fashion, attracting such patches.

Thanks,
