OK, so it sounds like scheduling latency regressions also qualify. This
could make a system that worked on 2.6.N-1 unusable on 2.6.N, and the
fixes here (usually restoring a lockbreak) are almost always small and
obvious. And users do report this, usualy in the form of "JACK was
usable under foo kernel but I get xruns with the same config under bar
kernel".
