What's the point of this exercise? Linux's process scheduler alone has
significant more lines. And there runtime complexity actually matters...

I'm just counting lines in kernel/sched/*.[ch], I'm too lazy to filter
out comments. As an example:

$ wc kernel/sched/fair.c
  7867  26757 207986 kernel/sched/fair.c
