So if you stick it in attr->sched_flags, use a high bit and don't put it in a uapi header. Also make the flags check explicitly fail on it when @user. Such that only _nocheck() (and thus kernel) callers have access to it. Also, there's not nearly enough warnings and other derisory comments near it.
