OK, fixed the fails. My tired head made it unconditionally return the
cookie-id of 'current' instead of task. Pushed out an update.

Right, so I tried core_sched and my fingers already hate it as much as
kernel/scftorture.c (which I'd assumed my fingers would get used to
eventually, but noooo).

Looking at kernel/sched/ C is very overrepresented, so we really don't
want another I think. B, E, G, H, J, K, N, seem to still be available in
the first half of the alphabet. Maybe, bonghits.c, gabbleduck.c ?
