Yes, it's an tradeoff to get lower latencies for our VII (Very Important 
Interrupt :-). The idea is from Thomas Gleixner: We have an regular interrupt 
and define our own timer where which we call after we have finished our VII 
handler. But normally the HR_TIMER is set. So we switched it off on this very 
purpose. As we also have also PREEMPT_RT_FULL set the proposed solution to 
allow only PREEMPT_RT_FULL with PREEMPT_RT_FULL set is not an option for us.

Best regards
