If I read the code properly, the existing code allows IDs from '1' to
and including '0x7ffffffe', whereas the new code allows up to and
including '0x7ffffffff'.

Whether intentional or not this is a change in behavior.  If it's OK,
it should be at least documented either in a comment or in the
commit log itself.

Similarly for your other scheduler IDR changes.

Thanks.
