The term 'core' in 'kernel/sched/' implies a relation to the kernel of sched,
and at the same time, 'core' is used in 'core scheduling' to represent a CPU core.
Both meanings coexist in the 'core.c' file and appear numerous times.
This can be confusing for newcomers.

Maybe we should rename sched/core_sched.c to sched/smt_sched.c,
and move relevant code from sched/core.c to smt_sched.c.
I believe using "smt" in smt_sched.c would be clearer than "core" in core_sched.c,
especially considering its association with core.c.
