I thought about that too, but thought it was also too -rt base. But I
think I'll move it regardless.

Will move.

That's what I meant to do. (/me had another confusion between > and < for
the lower the prio the higher the priority!!!!).

That wasn't planned. I wanted to only recalc if the priority was >= the
the rq priority, which would have been. p->prio <= rq->highest_prio.
Yes, I thought to myself (that should never be higher!) but I was
paranoid. So the test is not what I meant.

I'll add that with a switch to WARN_ON.
