Seeing how we use runnable_avg_period for both runnable and running,
does it make sense to remove the runnable part of it from the name?

It's right

Also, 4 byte hole here, not sure we've got anything useful to stuff in
it though.

I can move all u32 declaration at the end of the struct unless it has
been put before any u64 for good reason

Man, I should go look at Yuyang's rewrite of this all again. I just
tried to figure out the decay stuff and my head hurts ;-)
