Latency-wise? Probably very little. But note Andrew is not going to
maintain the low-latency patches through 2.6/3.0 as far as I know.
The reasons I asked for you to keep it were mainly (a) so everything can
support it, and (b) for the useful atomicity/sleeping debugging checks.
And when I get consumer-level NUMA x86-64 in hopefully a few years I
need kernel preemption to work :)
