yes.
ke_oncpu was only a placeholder for me to replace it with
ke_pincpu(jhb's name), the CPU that KSE is nailed (pinned) to
if we implement affinity/nailing. However that'll probably require
special variables so it should go away.

yes, I was going to suggest that the idle flag could go to the thread..
it removes knowledge of the KSE from at least one file..

It's scheduler specific but the outside world is also scheduler specific
in its expectations :-/
