Don't worry, I've been in a state of confusion for a long time now ;-)

I'm surprise that PREEMPT_RT does work. I'm no longer sure that this does
affect your latency anymore. It probably does indirectly somehow. I
still think it has to do with the bitspinlocks. But I'm not sure. Just
let me know if you want to be taken off this thread and I'll remove you
from my CC list. Until then, I'll keep you on.
