Comment:

 Actually, this might not have the performance regression we're talking
 about.

 The core of the patch here is:
 {{{
   CALLBACK(second_elapsed, NET_PARTICIPANT,
 -           FL(NEED_NET)|FL(RUN_ON_DISABLE)),
 +           FL(RUN_ON_DISABLE)),
 }}}

 So note that this periodic event is still labeled as NET_PARTICIPANT.
 IIRC, when a client enters dormant mode, it lstill loses NET_PARTICIPANT:
 NEED_NET is the only thing affected by hibernation.

 So I think this might be okay?
