Its just one of those things stuck behind the -ENOTIME tree :/

The plan is to 'merge' put_prev_task and pick_next_task into one and
avoid a lot of the up-down walking.

You just added a constraint for always having to walk the entire thing
up -- cgroups is too damn expensive already, we should be trimming this
nonsense not bloating it.

if they are merged, then I don't need a new hook.

Do you have plans to do it? I'd be happy to continue the work if you lack the time, since I am directly interested in the functionality.
