They seem > pretty pointless. I like the wrappers. At least, more than having to read the open-coded version. The latter is just more stuff to interpret and to check whereas I can look at "schedule_timeout_idle" and think "yup, I know what that does". But whatever. I'll probably be sending this series up for 4.6 and we can worry about the schedule_timeout_foo() stuff later.
