Heh. So the main reason I added these was so the !CONFIG_PROXY_EXEC
case would be able to collapse down cleanly.

So, I could go back and set the rq_curr() back to rq->curr, but it
seems like we'd still want the rq_selected()  [whatever its named]
wrapper to avoid the extra pointer in the task struct when proxy-exec
isn't used. Or do you have a different suggestion for this?
