Yeah, but you did a lot of (often unrelated to rt preempt) latency fixes in RT
that are not yet merged into mainline. When they are all merged
things might be very different. And then there can be probably
more fixes.

No matter what you do with RT this is needed anyways because
the standard non preempt kernel needs to have reasonable latencies too.
