It should make no difference -- sched_sizeof_proc() is evaluated exactly once, 
when the process zone is created.  After that, the size is cached in the 
process zone and never re-evaluated.  The current model allows the size to be 
calculated based on data structures private to sched_foo.c, which has some 
nice implementation hiding advantages :-).
