+         * Instead we retain the current runtime/deadline and let the new

+         * This is safe (albeit pessimistic) because the 0-lag point is always
+         * before the current scheduling deadline.
+         *
+         * We can still have temporary overloads because we do not delay the
+         * change in bandwidth until that time; so admission control is
+         * not on the safe side. It does however guarantee tasks will never
+         * consume more than promised.
