ah yes, i forgot to take into account the LOAD_RESOLUTION.

So after some more thinking,  i finally don't see where in the code,
we will have a issue if SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT is not equal to
(SCHED_LOAD_SHIFT - SCHED_LOAD_RESOLUTION) or not equal to 10 with the
respect of using a value that doesn't overflow the variables
