I was going to say, this is a common idiom in the Xen code, and the
compiler will end up re-organizing things such that the write doesn't
happen anyway.  But in this case, its' actually writing through a
pointer before and after a function call; I don't think the compiler
would actually be allowed to optimize this write away.

So, I guess I'd be OK with this particular hunk.  Dario, any opinions?

I'd rather switch to PTR_ERR() here dropping the perr parameter.

+2 for this, but I was going to wait until core scheduling had gotten a
bit further before suggesting cleanup which is guaranteed to collide.

Sadly, it's fairly intrusive in the cpupool code as well.

I can add this to my list of scheduler cleanups to do.
Copy that.
