This function used to be used with the VM tweaks that the -ck patchset
used to come with. I have since deprecated those VM tweaks but the
function remains in the scheduler. You're right to point it out and
I'll remove it when I resync with 3.18 (it's still in the BFS 458
patch for 3.17).

Thanks,
Con
