Is this a stale comment written before UCLAMP_SCHED_CLASS was
introduced? It seems to apply to the below if branch only.
Yes, you right... I'll update the comment.

Regarding the two policies, do you have any comment?

We had an internal discussion and we found pro/cons for both... but
I'm not sure keeping the sched_feat is a good solution on the long
