I'd change these pr_debug lines to "tasklet : scheduling %s %p\n" for
readability ..

hmm .. Looks like it's for migration of tasklets .. I take it your not
sure that's handled ? Try cpu hotplug ..

Is this "anonymous" just used for debugging ? Is so you could fill it
with a kallsyms lookup with the __builtin_return_address() ..
