Kernel 4.13 scheduler changes

[ColonelMIDI]

This pull request by Ingo Molnar to 4.13 references rt and brings changes to the sound architecture. Can anyone inform us what this means?

I'm far from an expert, but the post from Ingo looks like BAU incremental changes. It doesn't contain the details anyway, so it's not really possible to tell without looking at the commits themselves...

At least I wouldn't expect dramatic performance improvements when going from 4.12 to 4.13 (yet I would really like to be wrong).
As far as audio goes, I'm still more interested the RT patch, which is usually lagging a bit behind:

Liquorix kernel has better performance on my machine than the rt patch applied ones. Small changes to vanilla kernel tree won't affect me anyway i guess and I'm not sure I'd need to return to rt kernels in the future.
