Here we automatically imply that a task that is yielding to another
one has overruned its time budget. To me those are two different
things and may mislead applications looking out for the signal.

This works well when either one of the dl_overrun or dl_dmiss is set,
but when both are set not so much. We can either leave things as they
are now and let user space figure it out, make them mutually exclusive
or use SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2. This issue may already have been raised
when the first revision was sent out in 2009.
