Sorry if I wasn't more clear. These only apply to Linux systems with the
Completely Fair Scheduler, as opposed to the O(1) scheduler. For all
intents and purposes, this means 3.0 kernels and above.

With a 2.6 kernel, you're fine.

Effectively these changes fix what is basically a performance regression
compared to older kernels.
