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.
