 Then this feature adds 20us on top?
The point has always been for the number to be < the observable
scheduling latency.

I'm not sure what that number is, and it is always hardware dependent. I
measured it on a random test box when I did the prototype a long while
ago, and ended up at 50us, but for all I know that machine was running a
lockdep enabled kernel at the time (won't be the first and certainly
won't be the last time I try and do a performance measurement on a debug
kernel).

That was not the important part -- but everybody fixates on the number,
instead of the intent.

I'm assuming you have a recent number around -- what's sane? 5us, less?
