No problem, thanks actually to seeing if things can be cleaned up. :)

While going through that struct again I was thinking that we might want
to completely remove inline comments and put them in the above comment
block(s), as we already have for bool flags:

  /*
   * Some bool flags:
   *
   * @dl_throttled tells if we exhausted the runtime. If so, the
   * task has to wait for a replenishment to be performed at the
   * next firing of dl_timer.
   [...]

Would it be OK and any better?

Thanks,
