no, the patch does not break POSIX. POSIX compliance means that there is an environment that meets POSIX. Any default install of Linux 'breaks' POSIX in a dozen ways, you have to take a number of steps to get a strict, pristine POSIX environment. The only thing that changes is that now you have to add "set RT_CPU ulimit to 0 or 100" to that (long) list of things.
