      1) Definition of a generic model for job suspensions based on
         received service (e.g., job j_1 should suspend for 4ms as
         soon as service reaches 5ms).
      
      2) Definition of the dynamic suspension model (i.e., cumulative
         suspension of job j_1 <= X).
      
      3) Analysis of suspension-aware scheduling by inflation of job
         costs (via schedule reduction). In the literature, this is
         called suspension-oblivious analysis.
      
      4) Analysis of suspension-aware scheduling by adjusting job
         jitter (via schedule reduction).
      
      5) Proof of (weak) sustainability of job costs under suspension-aware
         scheduling. We show that if we increase the costs of all jobs while
         reducing their suspension times in a certain way, the response times
         of all jobs do not decrease.
      
         This has an important implication regarding worst-case schedules: if
         some schedulability analysis already accounts for the fact that job
         suspension times can vary from 0 to the task suspension bound, then
         it's perfectly safe to assume that jobs execute for their WCET.
      
      6) Proof of sustainability of the cost of a single job under
         suspension-aware scheduling. That is, we show that increasing the
         cost of a single job does not reduce its own response time.
         (Note that this is a very basic result that applies to many
         work-conserving, JLFP schedulers. We don't claim anything about
         the response time of other jobs.)
