Or we should just remove it. I'm curious to know who used it during
the last couple of years ? Having in mind that lazy preemption adds
another level as check_preempt_wakeup_fair() uses it so sched-idle
tasks might not always be immediately preempted anyway.


I just remembered that I've mentioned this issue in another thread[1] before. Can we do preempt SCHED_IDLE immediately even in PREEMPT_LAZY? (to achieve better response time for SCHED_NORMAL)
