Good point, an energy regression I guess you mean...

I think that check is already gone for CFS in the current PeterZ tree.
It seems we use TICK_NS just for the reset of iowait_boost, isn't it?

However, if the remote updates of CFS works as expected,
the removal of the TICK_NS for CFS is not intentional?
