correct. The SCHED_NO_NO name comes from ancient history. Nevertheless
i just renamed it to CONFIG_SCHED_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER in
tip/sched/core, and pushed out a new auto-sched-next with that rename
in place. We can get rid of it completely once Ken's /proc/<pid>/stack
hits upstream. (as the superior replacement for wchan)
