Odd, all of these ended up in my spam folder, you might want to check
your server email settings...

Like Linus said, who runs a real-world system that cares about this
latency measurement?

Yes, it might be fun for odd benchmarks to show the value of one RT
patchset/OS vs. another one, but this change can cause real issues in
real systems that do real, non-serial-loopback work.
