Your understanding is wrong.
The abstractions we present to the rest of the kernel is so that other
facilities can operate in generic way without having to know the
processor they're running on.
In your particular case you're trying to address two, AFAIU, scheduling
problems.
So no, we want to tell the scheduler *exactly* what it needs to know.
