The syscall does the whole:

task_rq_lock();
queued = task_on_rq_queued();
running = task_current();
if (queued)
dequeue_task();
if (running)
put_prev_task();

/*
* task is in invariant state here,
* muck with it.
*/

if (queued)
enqueue_task();
if (running)
set_curr_task()
task_rq_unlock();

pattern; which because C sucks, we've not found a good template for yet.

Without the dequeue/put,enqueue/set you have to jump a few extra hoops.
