Let's just make it a global variable for now. When we package up context for
each scheduler instance into a struct, it will get packaged up together.
It's a bit odd to add enable_seq to ops as userspace can't do anything with
it (note that hotplug_seq is different in that it's provided by the
userspace on load).

Thanks.
