+	 * 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.
