Which is bogus.  I had removed it in the version of the patch that I
posted in early September, but apparently it crept back in.

Yep.

Actually, I thought I was told that with CFS, the total process time
was accounted accurately using sched_clock(), then apportioned between
utime and stime (using counts of ticks in user/system state, which are
somewhat inaccurate).  At the time I thought that would be OK, but now
I'm not so sure.
