There used to be a rq parameter, but it was removed from the kernels
2.6.35+ by commit 27a9da65:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=27a9da6538ee18046d7bff8e36a9f783542c54c3
I don't know any other way off-hand to get at the runqueue -- it is held
very secretively in sched internals.
