Note that I can also reproduce the issue with a kernel that does *not* have
CONFIG_GROUP_SCHED set. I still get the music skips (maybe less frequently,
but that's hard to measure), and I've have also seen key repeats once.

Anything I can do to provide additional info on this?

# CONFIG_CGROUPS is not set
# CONFIG_GROUP_SCHED is not set
(config otherwise identical to my initial mail)
