You are right, it initially started as a arch specific RFC, now it is
completely generic.

completion.rst  sched-bwc.rst       sched-design-CFS.rst  sched-ext.rst          sched-stats.rst
index.rst       sched-capacity.rst  sched-domains.rst     sched-nice-design.rst  sched-util-clamp.rst
membarrier.rst  sched-deadline.rst  sched-eevdf.rst       sched-pelt.c           schedutil.rst
sched-arch.rst  sched-debug.rst     sched-energy.rst      sched-rt-group.rst     text_files.rst

I don't think any other file in there are a choice.
So, I guess I need to add a new one named sched-preferred-cpu.rst
