If the DL changes (which I shall post again as soon as tip/sched/core is
bumped up to 4.15-rc1) get in first, this is going to be useless (as the
DL kthread gets ignored by the scheduling class itself). But, this looks
good to me "in the meantime".

Just to better understand, you mean that the DL kthread does not send
out schedutil updates?

It doesn't have a "proper" bandwidth (utilization) :/. So it gets
"unnoticed" and schedutil updates are not triggered.

If that's the case I agree we can discard this patch... that's also
one of the reasons why I move it at the end of this series.

Not sure about this though, not my call :). I guess this still helps
until we get the DL changes in.

Best,

Juri
