Set the /dev/cpu_dma_latency to *us*, aiming to bound exit from idle latencies.
*cyclictest* sets this value to *0* by default, use **--dma-latency** *0* to have
similar results.

+ Set timerlat to run without a workload, and then dispatches user-space workloads
+ to wait on the timerlat_fd. Once the workload is awakes, it goes to sleep again
+ adding so the measurement for the kernel-to-user and user-to-kernel to the tracer
+ output.
