The updated udev rule is of course fine for an SRU. Marked for trusty for now, please add more releases as desired. Keeping the linux task for vivid onwards to change the default in the virtio kernel driver itself (pending feedback from the kernel team). ** Package changed: ubuntu = linux

This is an unconditional rule which will just second-guess kernel defaults everywhere, and it will not go to upstream either. Wouldn't it make more sense to fix whichever kernel driver is responsible for this device (or possibly QEMU) to pick a scheduler which is appropriate for these virtual
