Yes. In the SCHED_FIFO timer code, add a check to not call set_tsk_need_resched() if the currently scheduled task is a SCHED_LITMUS task.

I'd like to merge a patch for this. Jonathan, Glenn, could you please push such a patch (or, alternatively, let me know where I need to look).

No, that would mask errors in LITMUS^RT plugins.
