I suppose this is a fair question, although another question would be
is it useful in the rt-tests suites for other reasons?
It could be used as the "engine" of a test that would be similar to
pi_stress, with a different kind of mechanism.

If there is clear indication which code is provided as coding example
and which is a RT test it would already help. I was under the impression
pi_stress tries to test RT behavior. Maybe moving pi_stress to
'examples' would already be enough.

So then the question would be, is there a value in another pi_stress
like test that avoids pthreads?

If so, I could work it up into a test.

I suppose having more RT tests is good thing. IIRC there are more RT
tests available, e.g. in LTP. So not sure if this is not already covered
somewhere else.
