The title saying "lower than", is "equal" actually fine? Looking
at e.g. runq_insert() I'm getting the impression it's not.
Looking at t2c_update() I'm also getting the impression that
there's UB when the subtraction underflows. After all, if
-1 << 30 wasn't small enough a value, I don't see why -1 << 31
would be.
