Here are the problematic spots for me with Q5:

rtl8139_poll (this one was also present with previous versions of the
patch) :
http://www.undata.org/~thomas/q5_rtl8139.trace

use_module (modprobe) :
preemption latency trace v1.0.2

latency: 154 us, entries: 4 (4)

and a weird one with do_timer (called from do_IRQ) taking more than 1ms
to complete :
