We use unsigned long all over the place right ? All the task_util*()
functions return unsigned long, the capacity-related functions too, and
util_avg is an unsigned long in sched_avg. So I'm not sure if we want to
do this TBH.

Do you really need this one ? What's wrong with 'max' :-) ?

Since you're using this enum unconditionally in fair.c, you should to
move it out of the #ifdef CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_SCHEDUTIL block, I think.
